About Us
We make 12K carbon padel rackets and sell them direct.
That's the whole model.
12k Padel is a UK padel racket brand, named after the 12K carbon weave on its rackets. It is run by 12K PADEL LTD, registered in England and Wales (company 16756579), and founded by Enasio Rosselli.
12k Padel was started in 2023 by players who kept running into the same problem: rackets with a proper carbon build cost well over £100, and under that price it was hard to tell what you were actually getting. We wanted a racket that was honest about what it was, at a price club players could justify.
We made one.
What 12K Carbon Actually Means
The K number tells you how many thousand filaments are in each bundle, or tow, of the carbon weave. 12K carbon faces are common on rackets costing £150 and more. Ours has one too. The K number is not the whole story, though: the core foam, the layers and the shape matter just as much. We explain it plainly in 3K vs 12K carbon.
Why the Price Is What It Is
Sports equipment usually passes through a distributor and a retailer before it reaches you, and each adds a margin. We sell direct from 12kpadel.com, so those margins are not in our price. That is how a 12K carbon racket costs £79.95.
The Range
Three rackets, one spec: teardrop shape, 365 g, 12K carbon fibre face, medium EVA core, medium to high balance. The Ice White, Shark Blue and Midnight Black are the same racket in three colours. They are built for improving and intermediate players. If you are brand new and want maximum comfort, a softer round racket may suit you better to start, and we will tell you so.
