Best Paddle Rackets 202

Types of padel rackets

The paddle rackets generally have 3 different shapes. Each of them has different behavior on the track. Thus, we have round, diamond, or teardrop blades.

•       Control padel rackets: also known, due to their shape, as round rackets. They are perfect if you want to have more control, manageability, and precision, and if you are looking for a more strategic and defensive type of game, this is your racket.
•       Power paddle blades: also called diamond blades. Unlike the previous ones, what these rackets are looking for is power. Having a more resistant and solid structure, they are perfect for a strictly offensive game. If you want to enhance your air game and give your attack a plus, choose this racket.
•       Versatile blades: they are the perfect balance between the two previous types. They are tear-shaped, hence their other name, teardrop blades. They are ideal if you are looking for a balance between control and power, between defensive and offensive play. If you are a hybrid player, do not hesitate to get this racket.

Frequently Asked Questions about Padel Rackets

How to choose paddle rackets?

Many factors can determine whether to buy one racket or another. But, to make a choice easier, we are going to focus on the three most important: level, type of game, and price. Below we explain each factor in detail.

Game level:

In the market, we have rackets specially designed for different levels of the player. So we have rackets for beginners or intermediate level, advanced level rackets, and professional rackets.

The rackets for beginners are often the control rackets since when we start our adventure with paddle tennis, we do not have a good enough technique, and we will need a tool that helps us return the ball without much difficulty. They are more comfortable padel rackets, which convey security and have the widest sweet spot. As for materials, they are usually fiberglass.

If we have been playing for a long time, and our technique is more developed, we can opt for the advanced rackets. They allow us a more aggressive game since they offer more power and features.

Lastly, professional rackets are more rigid, made of more resistant materials like carbon, and weigh more. Using these blades and having the technique developed to perfection will help us to leave the ball in the exact place we want during the game. But, the ball output is much lower, so we do not recommend using these rackets if you do not have the appropriate level.

Game style:

As we have already mentioned, depending on the type of game, we should opt for one type of paddle tennis racket or another. Thus, if we play more defensively, we choose the round one. If we prefer an offensive game more, we opt for the diamond racket, and if we want to achieve a balance between two styles, we will choose the teardrop racket.

Price:

Finally, we have to decide how much we are willing to pay. Although, this is not the principal factor. In paddle tennis, a more expensive racket does not necessarily mean better since it will depend a lot on our level and style. Professional rackets are usually more expensive. However if you are a beginner player, surely this type will serve you much worse than cheaper ones.
