Racket shape

Another element to consider when choosing a padel racket is its shape: an extremely important factor that defines the balance and sweet spot of the racket. There are currently 3 different main shapes of padel rackets on the market:

• diamond
• round
• tear

Diamond shape

Diamond shaped rackets have a high balance , this means the weight is directed higher on the head. Diamond-shaped padel blades are chosen by players looking for greater hitting power, especially in offensive play. Racquets of this type are generally difficult to handle due to the smaller sweet spot compared to other formats, and therefore are mainly suitable for advanced and professional level players.

Round shape

Round shaped rackets are generally aimed at players looking for control and precision. The round blades have a very wide sweet spot and a low balance towards the handle which allows for maximum maneuverability and ease of play. For this reason it is the type of racket most chosen by beginner players.
