SOFT PADEL RACKETS
Soft padel racket features: this type of padel racket will offer you, above all, greater ball output, efficiency when playing each stroke, and a correct absorption of the same.
Advantages:
- Efficiency and ball output: it is a soft racket, where the EVA is more flexible, so the output of the ball will be much greater. That’s to say, you’ll be able to execute higher performance shots where the ball output is faster with less effort.
- Correct shot absorption vibrations for greater comfort when playing shots. In addition, with high elasticity EVA, the shots will be cushioned in the racket rather than the elbow, which will help you avoid injuries like epicondylitis, commonly known as ‘tennis elbow’.
It’s important to keep in mind that soft rackets give off less as they absorb shots more easily.
HARD OR MEDIUM-DENSITY PADEL RACKET
Hard or medium-density padel racket features: this type of racket will give you more control and power when playing your game.
Advantages:
- Control: although the sweet spot is smaller, when holding a medium-density racket your feeling of security when making each shot will increase noticeably.
- Power: it’s important to take into consideration that the technique and strength of the player favours the execution of strokes with greater force. Therefore, a hard or medium-density racket will help you play strokes with less effort, as it doesn’t absorb the impact of the ball as much, giving it more speed and bounce.
It’s a factor to take into account if you like the sweet spot to be small, as a hard racket will give you a better feeling of balance on the court.
