The Best Control Rackets the newest : in this new article, we’re going to choose one or two control padel rackets from each of the major brands.
How do you know if a padel racket is a control racket? We’ll explain it here.
A padel racket’s control varies depending on its fiber, density, and shape.
When looking for the best control padel rackets, the main characteristic to consider is the racket’s shape. A control padel racket should have a rounded shape, made of 100% carbon fiber and a medium density.
A rounded shape will give us a very wide sweet spot, located in the center of the racket.
Carbon fiber will give us rigidity and perfect control over our shots. If, on the other hand, we used fiberglass, the racket would be too flexible, and although we would gain ball output, we would lose control over our shot.
Finally, the density of the rubber could vary for each player. At Stock Padel, we recommend starting with a medium-density rubber, which will provide a great ball control/exit ratio. As we increase our level of play, we could easily opt for a high-density EVA rubber, giving it extra power without losing control.
Now that we’ve clarified the main features, let’s look at which padel rackets from each brand offer these characteristics.
