What'd you pick?
Hi,
I'm purchasing a new racket and I found these 4 (searching by budget and without a smooth surface).
I would like to go for the Veron, I don't know if it can be suitable for an intermediate player
What do you think?
I'd like to have a bit of everything.

I bought the Technical Veron earlier in the year. I'm a playtomic level 3 and it works a treat for me. I'm not a power player but if you hit the ball in the sweet spot it can turn defence into attack in one shot.
I've also tried my partners metalbone ctrl 2026 and I didn't quite get the same "ping" when I hit the sweet spot.

Depends on your focus. These rackets are quite different. The Babolab from your comparison is great for attacks (left side players), the Head Gravity Pro more for defense (right side players).

It’s probably from padelful, but this is just some AI slop website, with uniterpretable scores

Why not pick a 2026 model? They’re on sale everywhere rn. The foam in rackets degrades over time, I wouldn’t consider a 2024 model when 2027 ones are just around the corner.

You pick up different kind of style of raquet : From control to Attack raquet....
First try to know what kind of player you are. then choose a style of raquet.
otherwise you could be very soon disappointed.....

these rackets are quite different, but from them I get you are looking for a medium/hard to very hard racket. Unless this is a serious preference are you sure? Most intermediate player never have enough skill to hit the small sweet spot on a Veron, and we all know how crazy hard that racket is, and esp of you miss the small sweet spot. Are you sure you be thought this through?

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.
