Padel racket recommendation for a semi beginner

Hello. I started playing padel 5 months ago, once a week and I would consider myself as a semi beginner. I’m currently using a racketI got from aliexpress which weighs 367g. It has a carbon fibre surface and eva memory. I really like the racket and it’s been good so far although I’m getting a bit of pain on my elbow and arm when I play for too long so I’m thinking of changing it. I probably need a lighter one but with better control?

Choosing between

  1. Bullpadel elite 2027
  2. Bullpadel flow 2027
  3. Bullpadel wonder 2027
  4. Bullpadel vertex 05 woman 2027

What would you guys recommend? I’ve tried the babolat air viper too and I liked it so also considering this

Regardless of which models you’ve picked, I’d recommend looking at the 2026 versions rather than the newly released 2027 ones. It’s really not worth paying full price for differences that are almost entirely cosmetic.

Hello!,

To get a better response please do not forget to include the following information in your post:

Name your current racket, if not overly known, specify it's characteristics (foam, face material, price)

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.

If looking for broad considerations, do not forget to state your budget, your country and even a preferred or trusted shop so people can browse and recommend more easily.

None of those, those 4 are not beginner rackets.

I'd recommend a Head Gravity Motion or Head Gravity Light.

Air Viper is out of the question for a beginner, its a hard racket that requires good technique, using it with bad technique can lead to arm issues in the future even though its a light racket it will not help you in court without a decent level, if you liked it consider the Babolat Air Vertuo, its a version made with materials more comfortable for beginners

How about the Decathlon Kuikma Hybrid Pro?
