My racket rattles or a weight screw is loose. Is that a defect?

A rattle inside a padel racket is usually a small loose piece of carbon or foam from manufacturing and doesn't affect play. If it bothers you, Padel USA can file it with the brand as a warranty claim: send a short video where the sound is audible.

A rattle inside the racket

Small loose fragments inside the frame are common and don't change how the racket plays. To claim, submit it at warranty.padelusa.com with a short video where you shake the racket and the noise is clear.

Adjustable weights or screws

Some rackets have removable weights to tune the balance. Tighten them by hand with the tool the brand includes, without force; plastic screws strip if overtightened. If a weight is loose out of the box or a thread is damaged on arrival, report it with photos in the Return Portal.

My racket feels dead

A racket losing pop over many months is normal wear and usually isn't a warranty issue.
