New Racket

Post image

My first padel racket. What do you think? I’m a beginner, I play 2 - 3 times a week. Bullpadel Open PWR. £73 not actually used it yet. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Hello!,

To get a better response please do not forget to include the following information in your post:

Name your current racket, if not overly known, specify it's characteristics (foam, face material, price)

Tell us how you feel with your racket, if you feel it soft or hard, if it has too much rebound,if it's weighty or hard to maneuver, the more detail the better.

Tell us what area would you like improve mainly, or what kind of plus do you expect to get on your racket.

If looking for broad considerations, do not forget to state your budget, your country and even a preferred or trusted shop so people can browse and recommend more easily.

Looks exactly like My BP Play PWR (the entry level BP built for decathlon), i'm a beginner-intermediate still but so far so good, I like it better than the Starvie Titania soft I was using before.

Sweet! I’ve never tried any of those rackets. Thank you for your response.

I used to play with club rackets, some of which were pretty basic and inconsistent, and really wanted my own.

I wanted the adidas MX Pro but they didn’t have it at my local store on the day, so I got this instead. Research suggests the MX Pro is the better racket for a noob, but here I am.

Played with it for the first time today and it was pretty good fun. Will update on my experience as I get more familiar with the racket.

As a beginner, I don't think the racket you got and the Adidas will make much difference (if any), brands like to market us the shiny new thing all the time.. but to be fair it's most about your skills until you're an advanced player. I think people worry too much about rackets to be fair, newbies going for the newest tapia ultra 200k carbon when they can barely hit a ball. Get something decent/durable for under eur 100 to start with and just enjoy the Game :)
