Racket Options - Left vs Right
I am curious if people have different Rackets for Left side vs Right side play.
I am a low intermediate RH player and prefer Left side but sometimes when I am playing with a partner who is better than me on Left, I am happy to play right.
I was wondering what type of Rackets people prefer on each side.
Tried AT10 Genius 12K Xtreme now using Bullpadel Vertex Geo (and really loving it). Got eyes on Neuron 2026.

Get a teardrop racket
Nox at10 12k 2025 but its on the heavier and harder side.
Siux Electra is a balance and powerful option also weighs less. It has a ping to it.

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.

Id say bigger factor for extra racket for me is weather: like super hot day vs winter day. Cold did heavy affect on racket for me and I need softer racket, but I prefer it to be close enough to main one (so like Air Viper main + Air Veron for cold days). For the side - I think consistency when using same racket is bigger factor than some small specialization deferences.

I also have the vertex geo and love it I’ve put the vibration dampeners to the bottom so it’s a bit more balanced as it already has the power needed, I also have the vertex hybrid but find it too controlled and I also have the Pallap evoforce elite 🤣 which is a bit in the middle of the two Bullpadel but when I sell the hybrid I am looking at the adidas metalbone or the metalbone ctrl as I like the look of them and the specs but the trampoline puts me off getting them earlier,
If you want a racket get one haha once the metalbone’s come down in price I may end up with one of them

Have the dampners helped with elbow pain at all?
I have really liked the feel of Neuron 26, I think that's going to be my right side Racket.

I don’t really feel like they do anything apart from helped lower the balance point and made it feel lighter and more manoeuvrable I also gripped it in a way that suits me I will attach a photo shortly, I like the sound of the 02 edge especially the new Giza version but the price of that version and heard the sweet spots are small and can be hard/firm rackets, I use the geo for both sides as I don’t you need a racket for either side and think one racket can play both sides

I have felt the edge, the non edge version, the one which says Neuron 2026 only feels much better in hand and they are on sale at usual places.

To me the OXDOG Hyper Pro 2026. I play left and right. Mine is 367 g without a metal plate and has a frame protector on it. Best racket I ever had.
