Protect the grip of the padel racket by adding an overgrip. The frame of the padel racket can be preserved by adding a protective strip to the top edge. Don’t expose the padel racket to excessive heat and if it gets wet, make sure to allow the foam core to air-dry.
Padel racket has a shorter life span than tennis rackets due to impact with the metal mesh on the side walls. By comparison, tennis rackets last for many years, needing periodic string and grip replacements. However, some frustrated and angry tennis players make sure that their rackets have very short lives before getting smashed.
Technically, padel rackets have a normal life span of between 12 and 18 months based on what the manufacturers tell us. That is unless they get smashed against the walls.
