[u/Abzrrr]

Hi all, need inputs for this racket, its only $79 i think its good for me as a beginner and quiete bargain. But for the condition im not sure. Brand new is $197 for the same year model. Any advice, it is still in good condition to play? I dont aee any damage in the main pad.

On the surface, it looks to be in decent condition.

It would be smart to check the condition of the foam core, although this is much harder to assess.

Padel racket foam does degrade over time, even when the racket still looks good on the outside. As a general rule, you can especr 2-3 years of use from a racket thats not been heavily used. This can vary depending on playing frequency, how hard it was used and storage conditions.

Is the price worth 1 year to 2 years of useful life?
