Also affected by the padel virus and looking for the right racket? You're at the right place. Wondering how you choose the right padel racket? We try to explain it to you briefly and concisely.

As a starting player; you really just want to play well and make a few mistakes. We advise you to choose a round racket. These rackets offer you a lot of control and the larger sweet spot ensures that you make fewer mistakes. The only disadvantage is that this type of racket generates little power.

If you are a more advanced player, we recommend a teardrop-shaped racket. This type of racket provides power and control. The balance of the racket is in the middle.

Do you play at a high or professional level? Then we advise you to choose a diamond-shaped racket. The balance of this type of racket is high in the racket and it provides a lot of power.

Please note that you do not choose a racket that is too heavy, as this can lead to injuries.
