Buying with your padel partner: why two rackets make sense

Padel is a doubles game. You book together, you play together, and often you start renting together too. So when one of you decides it’s time for a racket of your own, the other usually isn’t far behind.

Choose for each player, not for the pair

Buying together doesn’t mean buying the same racket. Partners often have different roles on court: one plays more at the net and attacks, the other builds the point from the back. A good pair of rackets reflects that.

• The attacker may enjoy a diamond shape, with more weight at the top for smashes and volleys.
• The builder may prefer a round or all-round racket that is easier to handle and more forgiving.
• Not sure? Each of you can take our 5-question guide — and compare the two results side by side.

Compare before you order

On our rackets page, tick “Compare” on up to three rackets to see their weight, shape, balance and construction next to each other. It’s the easiest way to agree on a choice before you order.
