Step 1 of 3
How to choose a padel racket
Shape and core are the two choices that change how a padel racket plays.
| Shape | Sweet spot | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Round | Centre, large | Control and forgiveness; beginners |
| Teardrop | Middle | Balance of power and control; improvers |
| Diamond | Higher, smaller | Power; advanced players |
| Core | Feel |
|---|---|
| Soft EVA | More comfort and control, kinder on the arm |
| Hard EVA | More power, suits advanced players |
Looking after your racket
- Protect the racket from extreme cold, which can stiffen the core and lead to cracks.
- Use an edge protector to guard against scrapes on the court and walls.
- Store it in a cover, away from a hot car.
