Choosing Your First Padel Racket

Choosing the right racket can significantly impact your game. Here's what to consider:

Shape

• Round: Best for beginners - larger sweet spot, more control
• Diamond: For advanced players - more power, smaller sweet spot
• Teardrop: Balance between control and power

Weight

Beginners should start with a lighter racket (350-365g). As you develop, you might prefer heavier options.

Core Material

FOAM cores offer more control, while EVA cores provide more power. For beginners, FOAM is often recommended.

Balance

A low balance (head-light) gives better maneuverability, ideal for learning proper technique.
