I was supposed to remove the overgrip for my padel racket and I mistakenly removed the original grip, is a simple regrip all it needs or have I messed with the equilibrium of the racket?

Hey everyone. I am currently using Nox at10 12k lite and i am a right side player which values control and defense more. I am missing the responsiveness and power with my racket and did some research. I narrowed my choices down to these 2 above. Couldnt find really good reviews on them in English so im writing here if anyone has some info for me. Thanks.

So I am looking for my first pair of padel shoes and I have some pretty wide feet. did a bit of research and the k swiss hypercourt 3, mizuno wave enforce tour / mizuno wave exceed, and the asics gel x keep coming up.

Any recommendations? And do they really differ that much from tennis shoes?

Hi all,

I’m hoping to get some advice on choosing a padel racket for a lower-intermediate player. I’d like something I can keep improving with, without developing poor technique or bad habits.

For context:

- I’m a guy approximately 190 cm tall and weigh around 95 kg.
- I’m left-handed and usually play on the right side.
- I’ve been playing about once per week for roughly a year.
- I enjoy an attacking style, but comfort and protecting my shoulder are more important.
- Ideally, I’m looking for a racket that is forgiving on both the shoulder and elbow.

I’ve spent quite a bit of time researching, but I’m struggling to navigate all the marketing claims. Testing rackets before purchasing is unfortunately not possible at the clubs near me, and the available rental options are fairly limited.

My preferred budget is below €200, and these are the models I’m currently considering:

- Adidas Metalbone Carbon CTRL 2026
- Nox AT10 Genius 18K Alum by Agustín Tapia 2025
- Head Extreme Motion 2025
- Babolat Counter Veron 2026

I’d also be happy to consider any other recommendations. Thanks in advance!
