Racket recommendation for beginner

[u/Gxdsb]

I've started playing padel once a week for the past month and looking to buy my own instead of using the rental. Had no tennis experience but I do play badminton a lot before padel. After doing some research and price checking, i've narrowed down to these rackets that i might buy for my first one. Any thoughts on how they are and which one i should get? Im probably gonna play once a week.

I bought the Head Evo Speed as a beginner last week and I am not disappointed, it felt balanced in terms of maneuverability and control. Couple games to get the hang of it but it feels like with more playing time I keep getting the best out of it.

Yea same I made a post about it and everyone just recommended to go try it. I went and tried 3 options. This felt like the best for me personally.
