Adult Padel Rackets

Choosing the right adult padel racket: standards to know

Unlike junior models, adult padel rackets meet specific standards to ensure performance and stability. Almost all have a profile thickness of 38mm and a weight generally between 350g and 375g. However, the choice remains wide and should depend on your level and physique:

1. What weight to choose for an adult?
Weight affects maneuverability and power. A light racket (350g-360g) is ideal for women, players suffering from elbow issues, or those prioritising quick reactions at the net. A heavier racket (365g-375g+) offers more stability at impact and greater power, often preferred by men or experienced players with good technique.

2. Beginner vs Competitor: The differences
If you're starting out, go for models made of fibreglass with a round shape: they provide maximum tolerance and great comfort in hitting. For regular and expert players, carbon models (12K, 18K) will offer the rigidity needed to finish points with authority and precision.

3. Man, Woman or Mixed?
Most padel rackets are unisex. However, some brands like Bullpadel or adidas develop "Woman" or "Light" ranges. These models maintain the technologies of the standard versions but have a reduced weight (often below 360g) and sometimes a specific design, providing superior maneuverability without sacrificing performance.
