About this site

About PadelMakeup: how we collect specs and prices

This site lists padel rackets by what they are made of: surface, core, weight, balance in millimetres and shape, with dated prices from UK and German shops. It does not play-test rackets; it reads specs from shop and maker pages and compares them.

Where the specs and prices come from

On 15 October 2026 the catalogue held 487 racket models from 10 sources, and 584 product pages were read for specs. 202 adult rackets have shape, weight and balance, the three fields the finder needs.

Prices come from Tennis-Point, Sweatband, PadelDogs and Decathlon for the UK and from Padel-Point, Padelstore24 and Padel Market for Germany. Each price carries its shop and the date it was checked. Prices are read again each time the catalogue is updated; a price older than 7 days is hidden, and there are no "was" prices.

  • Specs: product pages of Tennis-Point UK and Padel-Point first, then the technical data in other shop listings.
  • When two sources disagree, both values are shown.
  • Rackets without shape, weight or balance in any source stay out of the finder.

How the texts are written

The texts on this site are written by an AI language model, but only from saved facts: catalogue numbers, the FIP and ITF rules, and statements from maker and shop guides stored with their address and the date they were read.

Before a page is published, a script checks the text against those facts: every number has to match a stored fact, and pages that fail the check are not published. Specs and prices in tables come straight from the data, not from the model.
