Frequently asked questions
Which padel racket should a beginner buy?
A teardrop or round racket with a medium or soft EVA core and a weight around 355 to 370 g. It forgives mishits while you learn and still has enough punch as you improve. The 12k racket is built for exactly that step, from beginner to intermediate.
What else do I need for my first padel game?
A racket, an overgrip on the handle, balls and court shoes. A head protector keeps the frame clean when it meets the glass or the floor. The Court Pack puts the racket, three overgrips and a head protector in one box.
Which padel racket is best for tennis elbow?
Look for a medium or soft core, a weight between 355 and 370 g and a forgiving sweet spot, then warm up properly and keep a fresh overgrip so you never squeeze. If it hurts now, rest and see a physio first. Our tennis elbow guide explains the specs that actually help.
