Having launched Express Padel to help grow padel in the UK, we wanted to put together some information to help get you started if you haven’t played before. Whether you are looking for the first time or looking to upgrade your game, choosing the right racket will help you enjoy the game and boost your confidence. When starting out as new players ourselves, we found it overwhelming on what padel racket to choose.
We are fortunate enough to work with brands we massively believe in, and stock trusted brands such as Babolat, Nox, Dunlop, Tecnifibre, Volt, and more. These brands have been used by top players such as Juan Lebrón for Babolat and Agustin Tapia for Nox.
If you’re new to Padel, we recommend sticking with a round-shaped lightweight racket as they generally offer more control and are easier on your wrist; we’ve put together a beginner racket collection, designed to help build your technique and get started.
For those that have played before or come from Tennis; or just plan to play more regularly, it may be worth considering going for more of a racket designed for intermediates to help get some power in your game. Our intermediate range has a selection of well-balanced rackets which will suit different playing styles, up to more competitive play.
If you are a more regular player, or plan to play more often and are looking for maximum performance & precision, that’s where our advanced racket selection should come in useful, which all feature pro-level features. You should be able to notice the differences.
Don’t forget all padel rackets are used to their full potential when used with well pressurised balls, it makes a huge difference in the bounce and speed of the ball.

Have a browse at the full range here, including Babolat and Nox bags to help keep your kit in one place.
We understand it can be hard to find a racket that suits you which is why we have introduced our Padel Racket Quiz which help recommend a racket based on a few questions. Regardless of this, we’re always open to help give recommendations, whether that's over the phone on 01233 535053, on WhatsApp via the same number or via email Hello@expresspadel.co.uk. We look forward to hearing from you!
Our mission is to help get more people playing Padel and to maintain a leading selection, with clear features and benefits of each racket. We have a price match guarantee* and offer next working day delivery with Royal Mail.
