Snowshoes padel could be linked to a quality certificate certifying that the racket meets a clear performance and thus explaining the price. The Testea laboratory Padel, in Valence could thus compare and offer real visibility to consumers, sometimes a little lost before choosing their equipment.

It is true that today, when we want to buy a racket, if we are not used to it, it is a little or very complicated. Between high-end, mid-range, diamond-shaped, round or drop-shaped racquets, and between one brand and another, choosing is complicated. Fortunately there is the Testea initiative Padel.

The Testea laboratory Padel was created in Valencia. The idea is simple. Test the different rackets of several brands, compare them according to their performance and their selling price. The final goal is to offer the consumer something more concrete than a technical description filled with words that we do not understand much in the end.

So far, several brands have united to “calibrate” the laboratory: Nox, StarVie, Adidas and Rossignol, but others are following suit; Head, Völkl and Royal Padel should join the project.

Let's just hope this initiative is truly neutral as advertised, well focused on us consumers and not a marketing fixture. To be continued.
