What to know before choosing

On this page you will find the padel rackets that manufacturers offer mainly to men or to all players. These ranges tend to have medium or heavy weights and, in several cases, balances shifted towards the head, designed for those looking for power on overhead shots. This is a marketing tendency, however, not a rule.

The gender indicated on a racket actually says little about how it will behave in your hands. Level, strength, technique and playing habits count for much more. A man who has just started or has arm discomfort may feel much better with a light, soft racket, perhaps from a different range.

That is why it is worth using this filter as a starting point and then refining by shape, weight and material. If you are starting out you can look at rackets for beginners; if you want power, consider diamond rackets. Our guide on how much a racket should weigh helps you choose the right range, while how to choose a racket sums up all the criteria.

Frequently asked questions

Are there real differences between men's and women's rackets?

The differences usually concern weight, balance and graphics. The basic construction is often similar, so it is better to choose by feel and by your own game, not by the label.

How much should a men's racket weigh?

Many players use models between about 355 and 375 grams, but this is not an obligation. Level, strength and how sensitive your arm is count for more than the gender indicated.

Can a man use a women's racket?

Yes. If a lighter, more manoeuvrable racket suits your game better or is kinder on your arm, there is no reason to rule it out.
