Does the racket come with a cover?
The product information indicates the racket is supplied as the frame itself; a protective cover is recommended for storage.
How do I know if I need an overgrip?
If the handle feels too thin or if the grip becomes slippery due to sweat, adding an overgrip is standard practice for better control.
Can I use this for outdoor matches?
Yes, the durable composite construction is designed for the conditions typical of both indoor and outdoor padel courts.
How does the teardrop shape affect gameplay?
The teardrop shape creates a medium-to-high sweet spot, offering a hybrid performance that supports both power-oriented smashes and controlled placement.
What is the primary material composition?
The racket is crafted from a professional-grade blend of carbon and glass fibre.
Troubleshooting
Excessive vibration during impact
Check the grip for wear or add an overgrip to dampen feedback, and ensure you are hitting the ball within the sweet spot.
Visible surface scratching
Clean the surface with a damp cloth; cosmetic surface scratches are common in composite rackets but typically do not affect core structural integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your racket, ensure the grip is replaced periodically, especially if you play in humid conditions. Because of the composite material, avoid leaving the racket in high-temperature environments, such as a locked car, as extreme heat can compromise the resin. Store the racket in a standard padel bag with a protective sleeve. For cleaning, use a damp cloth to wipe the surface after each match to remove sand and clay particles that can cause abrasion over time.
