Buyers Guide
When it comes to purchasing your first padel racket, there are multiple things to think about once you have decided on your brand.
If you’re just starting out, you may want to consider buying a beginner’s padel racket. Beginner’s paddles are usually lighter than their advanced counterparts.
They are also designed to help you get started without causing injury.
However, if you’re already playing at a higher level, you might want to consider getting a padel tennis racket that offers more power and durability.
We have created this short guide to help you choose the right amateur racket for you.
Balance
Balance is one of the most important aspects of a good padel racket. You need to make sure that the racket is balanced properly.
This means that the weight of the racket should be evenly distributed across the entire surface of the handle.
In order to achieve this, you need to look at the length of the handle. You should also pay attention to how much material is used to create the handle.
Power
The next thing to check is the power of the racket. Power refers to the amount of energy that the racket produces when hitting the ball.
There are two types of power: spin and pace. Spin refers to the speed of the ball after it hits the racket. Pace refers to the distance that the ball travels after it leaves the racket.
You can measure these factors easily by looking at the specifications of the racket.
For example, if you see that the racket has a rating of 18 ounces, then you know that the racket has a moderate amount of power.
Also, if the racket has an RPM rating of 1500, then you know that it has a lot of power.
You want a racket that will give you plenty of power, but you still need to be able to control the ball.
Durability
This is the last aspect to take into consideration before purchasing a new padel racket.
Durability is measured by the number of times that the racket can be hit before breaking.
When you buy a padel racket, you want to make sure that it has a long-lasting design.
Therefore, you should always go for a padel racket that has been made with high quality materials.
For a beginner, it is worth noting that to ensure that you’re getting a durable padel racket is to purchase one that is made of metal or composite material.
Metal rackets tend to be stronger than those made of composite material.
Composite rackets are generally cheaper than metal rackets. However, they aren’t as strong. Thus, you need to take that into consideration when making your decision.
How Much Does a Padel Racket Cost?
Padel rackets come in a wide variety of price ranges. You can buy a cheap padel tennis racket or one that costs thousands of dollars.
There are some factors that determine how much a padel tennis racket costs.
One factor is the material that the racket is made from. Another factor is the size of the racket. Then there is also the warranty offered by the manufacturer.
You may be tempted to buy a cheaper padel racket, but then this racket may not last as long.
Hence, you want to buy something that is durable, but also within your budget. This is possible, but you may need to look around a bit.
The price tags will range throughout all the brands we have mentioned, while some may come with a slightly higher price tag than the others.
You want to still make sure no matter what price tag your padel racket has, it is still made with high quality materials, so you can rely upon it.
A cheap racket, made with poor materials, may make it more difficult for amateur players to learn the game and improve overall.
Conclusion
There are many padel racket brands out there. Thus, it can be intimidating for an emulator to know where to begin looking.
We have given you the best padel racket brands that you should be looking into when it comes to purchasing any racket or your first padel racket.
