Compare padel rackets side by side

On 15 October 2026, the catalogue contained 202 adult rackets with shape, weight and balance recorded. Their weights span 300–375 g and their balance points span 235–275 mm.

Compare these measurements together, not as isolated scores. HEAD says heavier rackets offer more power and stability but are harder to handle; its guide associates higher balance with more power.

• Start with shape. HEAD describes round heads as offering a larger central sweet spot, the optimal hitting area; diamond heads have a smaller one near the tip. Teardrop shapes offer a mix of power and control.
• Compare weight in grams against the catalogue median of 365 g. A weight difference is measurable, but does not alone describe handling.
• Check balance, the distance from the handle end to the balance point. The catalogue median is 265 mm; a higher number places that point further towards the head. See the weight and balance guide.
• Compare face materials separately from the core. HEAD describes carbon faces as stiffer and fibreglass faces as more flexible and softer.
• Read core hardness and playing level as shop ratings. Tennis-Point and Padel-Point use soft, medium and hard, and Beginners, Advanced and Tournament; these are labels, not measurements.

Select two or three rackets to place them side by side. Differing fields are highlighted, and the page address keeps your selection so the link can be shared.

Start with the racket finder to narrow the selection using shape, weight and balance. Alternatively, browse the racket catalogue if you already have models in mind.
