Just for fun or maybe you're a fanatic - either way Padel is much more fun to play when you use the best materials. But which one do you choose? There are dozens of brands and, unfortunately, a well-known brand does not always mean good quality.
If you have a balanced playing style (or just don't know if you want to play mostly with power or control yet) then this Dropshot Conqueror is really a racket to take a look at. Gosh, with this you can play tricky balls!
That's why we've put together this ultimate list of the best racquets to suit you, PLUS you don't have to buy the most expensive ones just hoping you're in good hands!
A If you want to find the right balance between fast balls and perfect serve balls, the Conqueror is unbeatable (*hey, is that why it's called that?*).
It's not the cheapest option, and as a true beginner, you may not choose Drop Shot (although it will speed up your game).
That's why we also covered a whole bunch of budget racquets in this post. Let's take a quick look at them, and then take a closer look at each of these options:

Padel Racquet Buyer's Guide
Before jumping into the buying guide for the best paddle rackets, it’s a good idea to clear one thing up. There is no "perfect" paddle racket.
Given the price and features, it's best to find a racket that's right for you. You may also want your racket to look good.
But the most important factors in deciding whether to buy a racquet are your level of play and what the racquet will bring to your game.
Een the paddle racket is really a very different construction technique than the squash racket
Racquet stiffness
Softer racquets are better for power because they are more resilient. These rackets are good for the back court and for powerful volleyball. Of course, they are less durable.
Harder racquets are good for speed and control, but you'll have to put in more effort to land powerful shots. They are best suited for advanced players who have developed a technique to get the most out of their shots.
EVA rubber is stiff, less flexible and gives the ball less power. So the advantage is stock durability and more control.
FOAM, on the other hand, is soft, offers slightly less control but a lot more elasticity and offers more power and speed to the ball. Of course, FOAM is less durable.
Racket shape
Round : Best for beginners due to the fairly large sweet spot (where you can hit the ball best) so you can land quite a lot of shots and not get demoralized. The round head also balances close to the handle for better control.
teardrop shape : faster swing than round racquet, providing a good balance between power and control. In general, the Teardrop racket is suitable for players who have been playing paddle for some time. The balance is light in the middle for a balanced game. This is the most popular racket type among padel players.
diamond shape : the sweet spot that is higher in the racket. Experienced or professional players find it easier to hit the ball hard with a diamond head. The weight is further towards the head for stronger swings, but they are difficult to handle. Beginners still do not know how to handle a diamond racket.
Weight
Lighter racquets are better for control, but your hitting will not be as powerful as with a heavier racquet.
Women will find that a racket weighing between 355 and 370 grams is lighter and easier to handle with better control.
Men find rackets between 365 and 385 grams to be a good balance between control and power.
