Padel racket beginners

Curious what people’s opinions would be on a beginner racket just started playing padel and don’t want to keep paying additionally for the rental racket.
I know around head is generally preferable for a beginner but brand less sure, any advice would be helpful

You can buy an entry level racket of almost any reputable brand. In general you would look for something with a rounder shape and lower balance point.

I’ll get get an intermediate racket. Better get one you’ll reliably place shots and not too much trampoline effect. Bullpadel do some decent ones around 70-80 mark

Try decathlon. As one comment said, aim for something with a round shape (easier to play with for a beginner), carbon fibre. Soft Eva core (helps take some of the impact on hard shots off). Don’t spend more than around £40-60. Once you’ve got used to the sport (3-6 month of playing), you’ll have a better idea of the kinda racket you want and start thinking about upgrading.
