A racket is the most personal piece of kit in padel: weight, shape and hardness decide whether it fits. Anyone who has played for a while has usually chosen their own. A safer gift is then something that gets used up or lasts a long time. Our selection in three price ranges – with real photos and today's lowest price.
For frequent players: overgrips and balls. If someone plays twice a week, they change their grip about every four to six weeks, and balls noticeably lose pressure after just a few hours of play. You may not know whether someone prefers tacky or dry grips – balls always fit. A bag or a backpack is the accessory people keep the longest.
For beginners: anyone still playing with a rental racket will be happy to get their own. A round, rather soft and forgiving racket suits them – solid beginner models from well-known brands cost under €100. Not sure which one? The Racket Finder asks about playing level and budget, and the Level Test helps with assessing it.
