Padel is an exciting sport and a great way to get some casual exercise. Padel, or Padel tennis, is a variant of tennis one could argue. Padel is played on a smaller, semi-enclosed court with rackets that don’t have any strings. 

This form of tennis is popular for people who are struggling to master the technique required to use a proper tennis racket.

Since there are walls around the court, you can be more tactical about where you place the ball.

This often leads to a more interesting and strategic game that relies on skill rather than brute force. 

If you want to give padel a go, then the first thing you will need is a padel racket.

Instead of strings, these rackets are made from a solid sheet of plastic composite that is often perforated to make it easier to swing.

NOX (NOX Sport) makes some of the best padel rackets you can buy, and in this article we will be looking at some of the best models they have to offer.

When to replace your Padel Racket

Padel tennis rackets are one of the essentials for padel players. The best racket for advanced players is usually made of a carbon fiber racket face, carbon frame, and EVA rubber core. 

Carbon fiber bats offer more power, resistance, and durability. It’s designed for the player to have a good grip plus a nice spin on the ball upon contact. 

On the other hand, beginner padel rackets are made of fiberglass face and frame and a foam core material.

Fiberglass rackets are less resistant and durable compared to carbon fiber bats. Hence, it’s only suitable for occasional practice matches. 

But, no matter what materials were used, your padel tennis racket will eventually lose its shape and show signs of wear and tear.

When the racket loses its shape, it consequently loses its ability to give a good spin and will affect how you play the game. 

Once you feel that it no longer has enough elastic properties to give a powerful blow and start noticing a vibration upon contact, it’s HIGH TIME to change your racket. 

If you don’t know what signs to look for to change padel racket, read on! We’ll explain all these to you in detail.
