Recommendation for low vibrating racket
Hi everyone!
I’ve been playing padel pretty consistently for almost a year now (once or twice a week), and I’ve decided to invest in my first racket. Renting one every time is getting a bit annoying, and I’d also like to get used to playing with the same racket so I can hopefully improve with it.
I’ve done some research (read the guides and watched quite a few videos on yt), but honestly, there are so many options that I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed and could use some help.
I’ve tried quite a few different rackets over the past year, but most of the ones available for rent are in pretty bad shape, so I can’t really say that I’ve found one that I particularly loved.
One thing I’ve noticed is that I prefer rackets that feel more solid and have less vibration when hitting the ball. Because of that, I tend to prefer slightly heavier rackets, although I’m not sure if that’s necessarily the right approach.
I usually play on the right side and closer to the back of the court. I like playing with slices in general, and I also enjoy using the walls whenever I can.
My budget is around €100–120. I understand that this might not be a huge budget for a good racket, but that’s what I’m comfortable spending right now. I live in Europe, if that makes a difference.
Could you recommend any rackets that you think would suit my playing style and preferences?
Thanks in advance!
