Men's Intermediate Padel Racket – Pro Specification Direct Factory Supply

This racket is engineered for players transitioning from recreational to competitive padel, offering a balance of maneuverability and power that matches the demands of intermediate‑level play. The design focuses on measurable parameters such as weight distribution, frame stiffness, and string bed response to reduce uncertainty in performance expectations.

Technical Specifications

Materials and Construction

The racket frame utilizes a hybrid lay‑up of 70% carbon fiber and 30% fiberglass, providing a specific modulus that yields the measured stiffness of 68 RA while keeping the weight within the target range. The carbon layers are oriented at 0° and ±45° to optimize torsional stability and rebound efficiency.

The core is a low‑density EVA foam with a density of 0.18 g/cm³, selected for its consistent compression set across temperature variations (‑10 °C to +40 °C). This core thickness is 18 mm, contributing to the overall swing weight and vibration damping characteristics.

The surface employs a textured polyurethane coating with a roughness average (Ra) of 3.2 µm, designed to enhance spin generation without significantly increasing aerodynamic drag. The coating thickness is controlled to 0.15 mm to maintain dimensional tolerances.

Performance Characteristics

With the stated balance point of 260 mm, the racket exhibits a head‑light feel that facilitates quick wrist action for volleys and defensive shots, while the swing weight of 260 kg·cm² provides sufficient inertia for aggressive baseline drives.

Frame stiffness of 68 RA translates to a natural frequency of approximately 115 Hz in the first bending mode, which aligns with the preferred vibration dampening range for reducing arm fatigue during extended play sessions.

The recommended string tension range (24–28 lbs) yields a string bed stiffness of roughly 1.8 kN/m, offering a controllable power level that matches the intermediate player’s swing speed typical of 3.0–3.5 m/s at impact.

Applications and Use Cases

• Club league matches where consistent shot placement and reduced vibration are prioritized.
• Training sessions focusing on technique refinement, as the racket’s balanced mass distribution aids repeatable swing mechanics.
• Recreational‑to‑competitive transition players seeking a reliable platform that does not require frequent restringing due to its stable tension retention.
• Doubles play emphasizing quick net reactions, where the head‑light balance improves maneuverability.

Customization Options

Buyers may request adjustments to weight (±20 g), balance point (±15 mm), and grip size (±0.25 in) without altering the core material composition. These modifications are achieved by varying the lay‑up schedule and adding or removing strategically placed weight tapes within the handle.

Cosmetic options include matte or gloss finish selections, color‑coded frame accents, and personalized laser‑etched logos on the shaft. All surface treatments maintain the specified coating thickness and roughness parameters.

Quality Control and Testing

Each racket undergoes a three‑stage inspection: dimensional verification using a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) with ±0.02 mm accuracy, static load testing to confirm frame deflection limits (<0.5 mm at 50 N), and dynamic impact testing with a 0.1 kg ball at 30 m/s to assess crack initiation resistance.

Batch sampling includes a modal analysis to ensure the first natural frequency remains within 110–120 Hz, confirming consistency in stiffness and damping characteristics across production runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the racket be customized for a specific weight or balance?
Yes, weight and balance can be adjusted within the ranges noted above by modifying internal lay‑up or adding weight tapes; please provide target values when requesting a quotation.

What information is required before a quotation?
Required details include desired weight, balance point, grip size, finish type, any logo or branding specifications, and order quantity.

Which materials are available for the frame?
The standard offering is a 70% carbon fiber / 30% fiberglass hybrid; alternative compositions such as 100% carbon fiber or increased fiberglass content are available upon request and will affect measured stiffness and weight.

How is quality inspected?
Inspection includes CMM dimensional checks, static load deflection tests, dynamic impact resistance assessments, and modal analysis for frequency verification.

What packaging methods are available?
Rackets are packed in individual corrugated sleeves with corner protectors, then placed in master cartons rated for 25 kg stacking strength; palletization and moisture‑barrier wrapping are options for export.

What is the typical production lead time?
Lead time ranges from 15 to 25 working days depending on customization complexity and order size; exact timing is confirmed after quotation acceptance.
