Question 1

What's the difference between padel and pickleball?

Accepted Answer

Padel is typically played on an enclosed court with glass walls and uses a stringless racket with a solid face. Pickleball is played on an open court similar to badminton and uses a solid paddle. Both are great racket sports but offer different gameplay experiences.

Question 2

Which racket shape is best for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Round-shaped rackets are ideal for beginners as they offer a larger sweet spot and better control. This makes it easier to hit consistent shots while learning proper technique. As you improve, you might transition to teardrop or diamond shapes for more power.

Question 3

How do I know what weight racket to choose?

Accepted Answer

For beginners, we recommend lighter rackets (340-360g) as they're easier to maneuver and reduce arm fatigue. More experienced players often prefer heavier rackets (365-375g) for added power. Consider your fitness level and playing frequency when choosing.

Question 4

What if my racket arrives damaged or faulty?

Accepted Answer

Email us with your order number and a photo and we'll arrange a replacement or refund. Your rights under UK consumer law aren't affected.

Question 5

What's the return policy?

Accepted Answer

We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee on all purchases. If you're not completely happy with your racket, you can return it for a full refund. The racket must be in its original condition with tags attached.
