Niupipo Carbon Teardrop Padel Racket for Beginner to Intermediate

• You are new to padel or building consistency
• You want more of your mishits to land in
• You want one racket for every part of the court
• You want a colour that feels like yours

Our guide, compared with the other rackets we sell.

A carbon fibre face and frame wrapped around a medium-density EVA foam core, with a single open triangle at the throat. It is the same 455 by 260 by 38 mm size as our diamond rackets, and every colour shares the same build.

• It meets the official FIP size limits, so it will see you through from social games to your first competitions.
• Every colour plays exactly the same, so choose purely on looks.
• Keep it out of hot cars and direct sun, pop it in a cover between games, and check the frame after a hard knock against the glass.

Is a teardrop padel racket good for beginners?
Yes. It is one of the most popular shapes for newer and club players because it covers most situations without leaning too far towards pure power or pure control.

Teardrop or round?
A round racket has the biggest, lowest sweet spot and the most control. A teardrop gives up a little of that for extra punch when you attack. Once you are past your first few sessions, the teardrop is the shape most players settle on.

Is it kind on a sore elbow?
Of our rackets, it is the one we would point you to first, because its even balance keeps the weight away from the head. No racket can promise to prevent elbow pain, so if you are managing an injury, get advice from a physio too.

Should I start with a teardrop or go straight to a diamond?
Start with the teardrop. It helps you build consistent timing, and once your overheads are reliable, one of our diamond rackets is the natural next step.

How long does a padel racket last?
For a player on court once or twice a week who stores it properly, a carbon racket typically plays well for a year or more, and you will feel it is time for a new one well before it shows any wear.
