The tournaments should soon resume and you will certainly need equipment to perform in the best conditions: palas, shoes, bags…

It is always a question that we ask ourselves when we need padel : where to buy it?

Beware of too low prices

Obviously it's always tempting to buy at the lowest price, but you could sometimes regret having tried to save ten euros. Some sites break the market a little. If all goes well you can congratulate yourself for having saved a few euros, but if the equipment does not suit you or it suddenly breaks, you risk losing a lot of time in procedures ...

Buy in France

This is one of the major current trends: consuming local. Today there are many vendors of padel in France, which always offer better prices for the consumer. In addition, by buying French you benefit from social security that you won't find elsewhere. A good opportunity to slightly reduce the carbon footprint and to support local trade.

Test the material

As you see in the racket tests that we carry out regularly, there are lots of models of rackets, with different foams, shapes, weights. If you are not sure that a racket model will suit you, the simplest is still to test it. It's the same thing with shoes.

For this, you can go to the clubs and shops in your area, or on certain sites that allow you to return the product if it does not suit you.

Beware of the second-hand market

The second hand market can be very interesting for bags, accessories etc. It allows in particular to give a second life to certain objects. Regarding palas it is more risky. Indeed, a racket foam has a limited life, which depends on the shocks it has suffered, as well as the temperature variations to which it may have been exposed. A second-hand pala can appear in good condition and have suffered a lot…

 

So, to find your happiness, benefit from the best offers and guarantees, we suggest you go to your local clubs, and for more choices, take a look in our directory of shops padel !
