FAQ
Which racket shape is best?
There is no single best shape: round rackets offer the largest sweet spot and plenty of control, diamond rackets maximum power with a smaller sweet spot, and teardrop sits in between. The comparison table shows the shape of every model.
How much does a good padel racket cost?
Current flagship models usually cost well over €200 at retailers. Good rackets for beginners and recreational players start at around €60 – see the under-€150 list. Current prices with check dates are in the table.
Are the most expensive rackets automatically the best?
No. The most expensive models are usually built for pro and tournament players: stiffer, harder to play and less forgiving. For most club players, a mid-priced racket with a larger sweet spot is the better choice.
