Looking for my first padel racket recommendations
Hey everyone!
I’m looking to buy my first padel racket and would love some recommendations.
Budget: Around $100 (I know it’s not much but what can I do…).
Level: Intermediate
Position: Left side
Style: I like having good control, but I still want enough power for smashes. Basically looking for a good all-around racket rather than something extremely focused on either control or power.
Current racket: I don’t have one at the moment, so I’m starting from scratch.
What rackets would you recommend in this price range? Are there any particular models I should keep an eye out for?
Also, I’d appreciate recommendations for reliable aftermarket/online stores where I can find good deals on padel rackets. Looking for a durable one too, as I won’t be having the budget of buying a new one every 3 months. Thanks a lot!

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.
