Floky Sleeve No-Strain X Agustin Tapia Arm Sleeve

Every time you strike a padel ball, vibrations travel through the racket and into your arm. The Floky NO-STRAIN uses specialised vibration-dampening technology and graduated compression to help reduce these vibrations while stabilising the forearm muscles. 

This additional support is designed to improve comfort and reduce the strain associated with repetitive racket movements.

Absolutely. You don't need to be experiencing elbow pain to benefit from additional arm support. The Floky NO-STRAIN is designed for both recreational and competitive players who want to manage the repetitive stresses of racket sports. 

Wearing the sleeve during training and matches can provide additional stability and vibration control, even if you have never experienced an arm injury.

Professional padel star Agustín Tapia wears Floky NO-STRAIN technology during competitive play. Padel places repeated demands on the forearm and elbow, particularly during powerful smashes, volleys and extended rallies. 

Floky's targeted compression and vibration-dampening design makes it a practical choice for players seeking additional support during high-intensity matches.

You can wear the Floky NO-STRAIN during regular training sessions, competitive matches and tournaments. Consistent use provides targeted compression and vibration-dampening support while playing. 

For players who train frequently, it can form part of a wider approach to arm care alongside proper technique, suitable equipment and adequate recovery.

Follow the garment's care label. Floky generally recommends washing compression sleeves on a cool, gentle cycle without fabric softener and allowing them to air dry. 

Avoid tumble drying to help preserve the sleeve's technical properties and elasticity.

A round-shaped racket with a light weight, low balance, and a soft core will help a beginner focus on developing their technique without being overwhelmed by too much power or complicated handling.

Most beginner rackets use soft core materials like EVA or foam, which provide a more comfortable feel and less vibration. This helps with ball control and reduces the risk of injury or strain while learning.

The shape of a padel racket significantly influences the game, as it affects balance, control, and power. Here's a breakdown of the three main shapes:

Round Shape: The round racket is generally more forgiving with a larger sweet spot (the ideal area of the racket for hitting the ball). It provides better control and precision over power.

Beginners, as it’s easier to handle and offers more consistency and comfort while learning the game.

Teardrop Shape: This racket shape balances power and control. The sweet spot is slightly smaller than the round racket, but it provides more power. It’s slightly more advanced than the round shape, as it demands a bit more skill for optimal performance.

Diamond Shape: This racket is designed for maximum power, but it has a smaller sweet spot, meaning it’s less forgiving. It’s usually the least common shape.

Padel tennis, or simply padel, is a racket sport played on a smaller, enclosed court.

It combines elements of tennis and squash, using a solid racket with no strings and a softer ball. The game is usually played in doubles (two players per team), and the rules are similar to tennis, but with the added twist that players can use the walls to bounce the ball, like in squash.

Padel is fast-paced, highly social, and gaining popularity worldwide.
