Teardrop Padel rackets have a shape somewhere in between a round and diamond shape to try and get the best of both rackets. Being more powerful than round shaped rackets and more forgiving and accessible than diamond shaped rackets, teardrop Padel rackets have become the best choice for both advanced and intermediate players, as well as players who prefer an all-round mixed game, neither too defensive nor offensive. An increasing number of really good players and even pros prefer this shape as they prefer the bigger sweet spot and the mixture of power and control.

What is an intermediate padel racket?
An intermediate padel racket is designed for players who have moved beyond beginner level and want more performance, control and power without losing too much forgiveness.

What is the difference between teardrop and diamond padel rackets?
Teardrop padel rackets usually have a medium balance and a more forgiving sweet spot, while diamond padel rackets are typically more powerful, head-heavy and better suited to advanced attacking players.
