Best beginners rackets of 2025 in detail
If you’ve just started your padel journey, you'll need a lightweight, comfortable, and easy-to-play racket to help improve your technique. Here are the top options to consider in 2025!
Babolat Contact (CONTROL)
Once again, the Babolat Contact, one of the most affordable rackets on the market, is ideal for those who have just started and want to invest in a good, maneuverable, and easy-to-play model that is also inexpensive. A true reference.
Head Evo Speed 2025 (ALL-AROUND)
The Evo Speed is designed for beginners who want more than just comfort and control. It offers a perfect blend of both, while also giving you the added benefit of extra power. If you're looking to take your game to the next level and add more power to your shots, the Evo Speed is the perfect racket to start with.
Head Coello Team (POWER)
Inspired by the racket of world No. 1 Arturo Coello, the Head Coello Team is a true powerhouse, featuring characteristics—such as soft foam and soft faces—that make it forgiving enough for beginners. If you want to start your journey as a powerful padel player with confidence, this is the racket for you!
Head One Ultralight (BONUS)
Head is almost everywhere in the beginners' section. The brand that equips world No. 1s Coello, Sánchez, and Josemaría also thinks about beginners, and the revolutionary Head One Ultralight is proof of that. With just one hole and a weight of only 300g, this racket introduces something completely new to the market. If you're a junior or a beginner eager to experience the power of 12K carbon in an ultra-light racket, don’t miss out on this one!
Best intermediate rackets of 2025 in detail
If you’re an intermediate padel player, you'll need a racket that suits your evolving style, whether you focus on building points from a defensive position or maximizing your powerful smashes and volleys. Here are the top rackets to consider in key categories.
Nox Equation Advanced (CONTROL)
Despite its name, the Nox Equation Advanced is a racket we recommend more for intermediate players. As one of the best value-for-money rackets of 2025, it is made from high-quality materials that will help developing players improve securely, step by step!
Wilson Blade LS V3 (ALL AROUND)
Light, soft, comfortable, and powerful—the Wilson Blade LS V3 is perfect for intermediate players looking for a versatile option to put pressure on their rivals with any shot. A strong choice that gives players still refining their game a boost with every stroke!
Wilson Defy LS V1 (POWER)
The Wilson Defy LS V1 shares many similarities with the Wilson Blade LS V3 in terms of materials. However, with its true diamond shape and more rigid frame, it suits intermediate players differently—offering greater power and stability. Perfect for offensive-minded players who still need to refine their technique!
Head Gravity Team Light (BONUS)
In the Intermediate category, the Head Gravity Team Light stands out as a great option. It’s a very light and comfortable racket, perfectly suited for juniors, women, or adult male players who want to protect their elbow and prefer to spend time in defense!
Best advanced rackets of 2025 in detail
If you're an advanced padel player, you need a racket that keeps up with your fast-paced and tactical game. At this level, precision, power, and versatility become essential, whether you're dominating from the back of the court or finishing points at the net. Here are the top rackets that will help you push your performance to the next level.
Adidas Cross It Light 3.4 2025 (CONTROL)
The signature racket of Marta Ortega is an excellent option for advanced players who want to benefit from the comfort of soft foam, the maneuverability and tolerance of a round shape, and the clear touch of 24K carbon. It is a light and easy-to-handle racket, perfect for advanced players looking to develop their strategy from the back of the court—the true definition of control!
Babolat Air Veron 2.5 2025 (ALL-AROUND)
If you're an advanced player looking for a comfortable, high-quality racket that offers effortless power, great maneuverability, and an enjoyable feel, look no further—the Babolat Air Veron 2025 is exactly what you need!
Bullpadel XPLO Comfort (POWER)
Bullpadel impresses with one of the most powerful rackets it ever created : the XPLO. The Comfort version, as its name suggests, is easier to handle, perfect for advanced players who want to get that dynamic feel. It is one of the best possible options for offensive advanced players who enjoy a softer touch, looking for an impressively powerful weapon.
Head Coello Pro 2025 (BONUS)
We can already hear you asking, "Why isn’t Arturo Coello’s pro model in the pro section?" And you’re not entirely wrong—any offensive pro player could use King Arturo’s racket. However, since it features a bit of fiberglass on its faces for added comfort and has a larger sweet spot than many high-level power rackets, it’s also perfectly suited for slightly less experienced players who still want the power and balance of a true offensive model. That’s more than enough to earn a "surprise spot" in this category!

Nox AT10 Luxury GENIUS 12K 2025 by Agustin Tapia (CONTROL)
Once again, the racket used by Agustín Tapia stands out as one of the best in 2025. With the game evolving towards attack and brands focusing more on power, we’ve decided to place the Nox AT10 Luxury Genius 12K in the control category this year—though it could just as easily fit into the all-around section. Maneuverable and fast, this racket does it all, making it a favorite among players of all styles. Two words sum it up: best-seller!
Bullpadel Hack 04 Hybrid 2025 (ALL-AROUND)
With a rounder shape than Paquito Navarro’s traditional racket, this hybrid version truly excels in every aspect of the game. Precise and responsive thanks to its 18K Tricarbon faces, it delivers outstanding sensations and gives you the confidence to do it all on the court. A masterpiece of high technology designed for the most demanding all-around players!
Babolat Technical Viper Juan Lebrón 2025 (POWER)
Juan Lebrón is one of the most technical and precise players in the world, so it's no surprise that his signature racket is one of the most demanding on the market. But if you have the technique to master it, this Babolat Technical Viper, specially designed for the Spaniard, will provide an incredible combination of power and precision. A true rocket—only for those skilled enough to handle it!
Adidas Metalbone HRD+ 3.4 2025 (BONUS)
We couldn't mention Juan Lebrón's racket without talking about that of his former teammate, Ale Galán. The Adidas racket is slightly too light (360g max with all the added weights) to be crowned in the power category, but it still has its fans. One must say that this hard and precise racket leaves no one indifferent, thanks to its adjustable balance and cutting-edge technology. A true Swiss Army knife designed for the most demanding players!
