Niupipo 3K Carbon Diamond Padel Racket, Black and Red

• You want to start attacking at the net
• You like control on your soft shots
• You want diamond power without a harsh feel
• You like a bold black and red look

Our guide, compared with the rest of the range we sell.

The face is 3K woven carbon fibre, each strand of the weave a bundle of roughly 3,000 carbon filaments, over a medium-density EVA foam core inside a carbon fibre frame. The throat is an open bridge: a curved top bar with two arms meeting in a V.

• It is built to the official FIP limits, 455 mm long, 260 mm wide and 38 mm thick, so it is fine for club leagues and tournaments.
• Most players add an overgrip to fine-tune the handle thickness, and it takes any standard padel overgrip.
• Keep it out of a hot car and away from radiators, use a cover in your bag, and check the frame edge after a hard knock against the wall or floor.

What does 3K carbon mean?
Each strand in the face weave is made of roughly 3,000 carbon filaments, which gives a finer weave pattern than 12K or 18K. The grade mostly changes the look of the weave; shape, core and balance change how a racket plays far more.

Is a diamond padel racket OK for beginners?
You can learn with one, but most beginners find a teardrop or round racket more forgiving because the sweet spot is bigger and lower. A diamond pays off once your timing on overheads is reliable.

I have a sore elbow. Is this a good choice?
Of our diamond rackets, the 3K models are the most comfortable, because stiffer carbon grades pass more vibration to the arm. If arm comfort is your top priority, our teardrop is gentler still, and it is always worth speaking to a physio.

How long will it last?
Played once or twice a week and looked after, a carbon racket usually keeps its feel for a year or more. Regular players usually sense it is time for a fresh one long before anything looks worn.
