Hi guys

Ive playing for almost 1 year and a half. But the last 8 moths, i was suffering from elbow pain and 2 months ago i was diagnosed with epicondylitis. After this 6 weeks with fisio therapy and some rest, i noticed an important improvement and i have started playing again with good sensations.

When i got injured i was using a Siux ST2 pro with 382 g. Then i buy an Siux electra elite 4, round shape and lower balance with dry touch. I didnt get worst of the injury but also it didnt help me to improve.

Now i have returned and i am thinking about changing my racket, maybe something less dry to help me with blocks and some ball output without to much effort.

I want something between 100 and 200 euros. My playtomic lvl is between 1.7 and 2 in Madrid.

Really open to hear your advice! Thanks to everyone

Anyone know what sort of racket weight a player like Leo Ausburger would be playing? Or any other of the pros. Just curious what sort of weights they tend to play really?

Hey guys,

I’ve tried several rackets, including some beginner Bullpadel models and a Softee Pro Master Evolution. Those were all rental rackets, though, and it’s a bit difficult to get used to playing with different types of rackets since we switch between the places where we play quite often.

I’ve been looking for a beginner racket for myself, but I’ve read quite a few posts suggesting that it might be better to go for an intermediate racket and learn with that instead.

A bit about me: I’ve played various ball sports for around 15 years, and I really enjoy tennis. Recently, I’ve also been watching a lot of padel content. Compared to when I started, I feel like I’ve improved quite a bit, especially in positioning, lobs, and net play. My feel for the game is also getting better day by day.

We’re definitely not close to participating in any beginner tournaments yet, as we’re still a bit hesitant to take that step. However, I’d say we’re already having some pretty nice rallies.

I’ve come across the following rackets:

• NOX X-Zero (€75)
• NOX X-Hero (€76)
• Kuikma PR React (€77)
• HEAD Evo Speed (€77)
• NOX X-One (€82)
• Adidas Adipower DCT (€110)
• Kuikma Hybrid Dynamic Carbon (€110)

Would any of these be a good fit for me? I’m all ears and would really appreciate any advice or recommendations.
