The ranges are great for everyone. And yet, the fashion effect and marketing are leading us to the rackets of the champions.
Who has not dreamed of spiking like Fernando Belasteguin or Paquito Navatro:
of driver like Sanyo Gutiérrez or Pablo Lima:
But there ! It's not because you buy your racket that you get so good ...
Many players overestimate themselves and invest in snowshoes often very expensive and too demanding because they are too precise and do not accept the errors of framing.
And if we asked some figures!
The prices of a Hack or a Delta Pro are more or less 250 €, a big budget!
Do they really make them better?
Whereas a good quality racket for an intermediate / confirmed player is roughly 100/120 €. The teachers of padel would be well advised to brag about these intermediate / confirmed rackets and sell the 130/150 € difference in lesson hours Padel.
When you play a match, you do not work the scales necessary for the implementation of effective gestures and investments. And yes ! The lessons of a teacher make the game evolve, but not the price of the equipment.
No champion is at his level without training and rehearsals, so we can say that the racket does not make the player.
CQFD and Good padel

On the other hand, it is very difficult to find a racket adapted because it is difficult to try and thus to know if it is necessary a racket rather hard or soft and balanced more or less in head. In addition, it is often the lottery with the weight of the rackets so that one can have tried and liked a racket and not appreciate the one that one buys because it weighs 20g more or less!
Yes yes but if we can have both !!
The equipment remains very important like in all sports for example I played with a dunlop at 140 euros but which lacked power. I went after advice to the vertex bullpadel It's day and night even at my level and it allowed me to progress.
And then a good stuff lasts longer !!
You confirm my words, especially when we know you and we know that you took lessons with Philippe Dales.
A good racket yes, but with good gestures ...;)
Hi Pitoun, Of course, this is more of an opinion. Your testimony shows that this article may be true in some cases, and false in other cases. :)
