What is the difference between a Padel Racket and a Tennis Racket?

Significant differences in design and functionality‌

Padel Rackets are usually smaller than tennis racquets, with a racquet surface size of 26cm and a length of 45-47cm, making them suitable for players of all skill levels, including beginners. The traditional tennis racket has a larger surface and length. The surface size is usually between 68-120cm, and the length is generally around 27 inches (about 69 cm).

‌Usage scenarios and sports characteristics

Padel rackets are primarily used in padel tennis, a sport that combines elements of tennis, squash and table tennis. The padel tennis court is relatively small, only 20 meters x 10 meters in area, suitable for indoor play‌. Traditional tennis requires a larger venue, usually a standard tennis court with a large running area.

‌Materials and performance aspects‌

Padel Rackets are typically made from high-quality carbon fiber and nylon materials that provide excellent strength, durability and performance for players of all levels‌. Traditional tennis rackets have more parameters and options, such as racket size, weight, balance point, etc., which are suitable for players with different technical levels and needs.
