About us

From a hobby, to a mission

What began as a fun hobby quickly turned into an obsession (you know how it goes)! We both became hooked to Padel's addictive nature. As we looked for the right equipment, we realised that the market was fragmented, and searching for the right equipment wasn’t as easy as it should be. That’s when we decided, why not build something better?

Our mission is simple – to offer an easy, hassle-free online shopping experience with the best Padel products out there. Whether you’re just starting to pick up your first racket or you’re a seasoned pro looking for an upgrade, we’ve got you covered.

What shape of padel racket do I get?

For Padel racket choices, the round-shaped racket suits beginners with a larger sweet spot, where as the tear drop shape suits intermediate players offering a balance of power and control and the diamond-shaped racket is designed for advanced players, prioritising maximum power but can be harder for beginners to control.

A round-shaped padel racket is the best option for beginners. It offers a larger sweet spot, with more control and forgiveness, making it ideal for those starting out in the sport.

What are padel rackets made from?

Padel tennis rackets are typically made from:

Core Materials:

  • EVA Foam: Offers a balance of power and control.
  • Polyethylene (PE) Foam: Softer, providing better comfort and control.

Frame Materials:

  • Carbon Fiber: Lightweight, durable, and offers power and control.
  • Fiberglass: Flexible and more affordable, often found in beginner rackets.

Surface Materials:

  • Carbon Fiber or Fiberglass: Both provide strength, with carbon offering more control and durability.
How long do padel balls last?

This varies depending on the ability of the players, court type and weather conditions.

Typically padel balls last between 2-4 matches at their best.

How to test your balls:

Pressure test: Squeeze the ball. A good padel ball should feel firm.

Bounce test: Drop the ball from shoulder height onto a padel court, it should bounce to hip height.

Consistency: If it flies or bounces irregularly, it's a sign of wear.

Sound: A dull or soft tone suggests wear

What is padel?

Padel tennis is a fast-paced racket sport played on a smaller, enclosed court. It combines elements of tennis and squash, typically played in doubles. The game uses a solid, perforated racket and a tennis-like ball, but the court has walls players can use for rebounds, similar to squash.

The rules are similar to tennis, with the added twist that the ball can bounce off the walls. Padel is easy to learn, social, and accessible, making it popular for players of all skill levels.
