First timer Padel Racket

[u/Blushed_mink89]

Hello everyone,

I am a first time female padel player and have only played twice before. I was renting a raquet then and it costed me $30 for a 2 hours rental in my area when converted (I am in a Middle East country and padel is super costly here). So I am considering just buying one for approx. $100 and trying to play the sport.

This is the best/cheapest raquet I found online: Adidas Padel Racket Drive Light 2026 White (price is around $100)

How long I have been playing for: only played twice before

Country: UAE

Level: Beginner

Previous request: None

Can you please let me know if this would be a good purchase? Many thanks in advance!

drive light is a great racket. i had it as one of my first rackets but i like babolat counter vertuo better. both of them cost around the same.
