Find it Now the ideal padel racket can quickly turn into a headache. Between marketing pitches, personal feelings, varied shapes and hundreds of models available on the market, it's difficult to find your way around. What if a tool finally made it possible to compare all the snowshoes in a neutral and scientific way? This is the challenge of X-Compare, a new generation comparator launched by the Extreme team Padel.
The founders of the site return to this new tool and explain it to us in detail.
No more feelings, time for measured data
Until now, most comparators relied on subjective tests, influenced by testers' preferences or brand language elements. Interesting, certainly, but not very comparable from one model to another. What one finds manageable, another will judge unstable. X-Compare shakes up these practices: no personal opinion, no subjective rating, only results from laboratory measurements.
Each racket is rigorously analyzed: weight, inertia (swingweight), twistweight, balance, frame rigidity, foam rigidity, vibration absorption… All this data is then translated into objective grades on fundamental criteria: power, control, handling, comfort, tolerance, etc.

A tool for all player profiles
The goal is simple: help each player find the racket that matches their playing style. Are you looking for maneuverability? At a glance, you can identify the best performing models on this criterion. Are you betting everything on power? You will have a reliable and comparable rating, regardless of the brand.
The comparator allows you to connect up to 4 rackets simultaneously, with a clear and visual reading of performance gaps. All rackets are tested according to a single protocol, without intervention from brands. Result: a 100% neutral tool.
One year of development for a unique comparator
To achieve this level of precision, the Extreme team Padel developed its own testing protocol, after a year of research and development. The ambition: to propose a reproducible and applicable method to all the rackets on the market, regardless of their brand or technology.
Continuously updated, the X-Compare comparator integrates the latest releases and allows demanding players to make a informed choice. And for the more curious, each racket has its detailed technical sheet, figures in support.
