Equipment choice depends on your level, playing style, comfort and feel. This guide gives you general pointers to help you decide more easily.
Grip size
The grip should allow a good hold without tension. A grip too small may lack stability, while a grip too large can reduce manoeuvrability.
| Hand circumference | Recommended size | Recommended profile |
|---|---|---|
| Under 10 cm | Small grip | Small hands or young players |
| 10 to 11 cm | Standard thin grip | Players seeking manoeuvrability and comfort |
| 11 to 12 cm | Standard grip | Most adult players |
| Over 12 cm | Thicker grip | Large hands or need for stability |
Padel racket weight
Weight directly influences manoeuvrability, power and arm fatigue. The lighter a padel racket is, the easier it is to move. The heavier it is, the more stability and impact it can offer.
| Indicative weight | Feel | Player profile |
|---|---|---|
| 340 à 360 g | Lightness and manoeuvrability | Beginners, players seeking comfort |
| 360 à 375 g | Balance between control and power | Regular and intermediate players |
| 375 à 390 g | Stability and power | Advanced or aggressive players |
Padel racket shape
Round shape
It prioritises control, tolerance and ease of play. It's often the most reassuring choice for beginners.
Teardrop shape
It offers a good compromise between control and power. It's a versatile shape suited to many players.
Diamond shape
It favours power and aggressive play. It generally requires more technique and control.
