Build a racket padel is not a simple thing. Today more than 300 brands of palas are present on the world market. There are several organizations that are set up for the quality of the palas so that the players find themselves there. Here is an example of the tests carried out on your future pala.

Within the World Padel Tour, there is an R + D sponsor (Innovation and Development). Its role is simple: to try to bring technological innovations to the world of padel. This year is Drop Shot, a brand that has always innovated in the padel, which is responsible for this task (other brands do not sit idly by).

Since the padel explodes across the world, the material padel has evolved a lot. We manage to find a bit of everything on the market. Fortunately in Europe, we are lucky to have trusted brands offering good equipment and above all an after-sales service (more or less efficient but it is there). The palas adapt to the game more and more quickly and more and more violent. Carbon, fiberglass, 3K, 12K, 18K, Eva or Foam, its density, round, diamond or water drop shape, grips, protections or even weights allowing a tailor-made pala, it there is something for everyone.

And as much material, if not tested, arrives in your hands moderately effective.

Test Padel undertakes to issue a quality certificate.

Brands also test the toughness of their palas as subjecting more than 3 000 strikes to test its resistance. Currently we have few videos of resistance tests or horrors that the brands might have on their rackets, and we would like to know how they are tested.

On the other hand, if in your entourage you know one or more players testing palas in their own way in order to check their solidity, do not hesitate to film them and send them to us for the future, the technological advance and the evolution of the equipment padel of course.
