Understand racket shapes, weight, and materials to choose the right padel racket.
What Your Guru Thinks
This is helpful if you're just starting out in padel and are confused about choosing a racket. Sandy clearly explains the different shapes, weights and materials that make a difference. Understanding these basics will guide you in selecting a racket that matches your needs and playing style. It's really useful advice to get you started on the right foot.
Description
There are 3 different shapes for the rackets: Diamond, Tear-Drop & Round, each of these change the balance slightly of the racket. But with the variety of materials used, the only real way to find the racket for you is to test them. That might mean borrowing them or requesting a demo racket from the shops.
About the Coach
"There are so many different brands and models out there, that the only real way to find out what you like is by testing!"
Sandy focused his attention from tennis to padel in 2010, learning the game with several trips and courses in Spain. His education in Sports Biomechanics, combined with playing and coaching at an international level (both in tennis and now padel) puts him in a great position to share his insights in the sport, hopefully helping others learn in the process.
