Adidas padel rackets

Adidas, German expertise for your padel rackets

Do we really need to introduce Adidas? Founded in 1949 in Germany by Adolf Dassler, the sports brand is one of the largest sporting goods manufacturers in the world. Gradually establishing itself across all sports, Adidas made an early start in racket sports as early as 1968, by sponsoring global tennis star Stan Smith, with shoes that are now known worldwide. For several years now, Adidas has been focusing increasingly on the world of padel, striving to offer the most comprehensive range possible. Unlike in tennis, Adidas then embarked on manufacturing padel rackets, in addition to accessories and clothing. And for now, it is fair to say that it is a success. 

What are the features of Adidas padel rackets? 

Adidas rackets are renowned for featuring numerous technologies to customise them and make the palas best suited to all types of players. This is the case thanks to the Multiweight innovation. Individual weights placed on the sides of the racket heart to achieve the best balance and make it lighter or heavier to suit your preference. Ideal for players who want to fully customise their racket! 

The second (and by no means least) is the Octogonal System, which provides greater racket stiffness and therefore increased power. Adidas achieves this thanks to an 8-edged tube running around the racket. Practical, especially since resistance to potential impacts is also increased. 

How to choose your Adidas padel racket? 

As with other brands, it is important to carefully review and consider all features to choose the racket that will help you progress.

Shape: Power or control? 

The shape is the foundation of the racket and determines its main characteristics. The diamond shape is the shape associated with power and explosiveness. With its weight in the racket head, smashes and powerful shots are enhanced. Left-side players can thus unleash their aggressive potential! 

For players who prefer control and manoeuvrability, round shape rackets are the best option. The weight towards the racket handle optimises control and precision, sometimes at the expense of a little power. 

In between the two and for more versatility, the teardrop shape is also a popular shape, particularly among players still finding their playing style. Highly balanced, this style of pala favours balance and all-round performance in attack and defence.

Faces: Soft or stiff? 

The racket faces are essential, as they have the greatest impact on players' sensations. 2 main materials are used: carbon and fibreglass. Fibreglass is a flexible, soft and generally easy-to-use material. Recommended for beginners or intermediate players, it is also an affordable material. Check out our article on the best rackets under £100, which are mostly made of fibreglass. 

Carbon, on the other hand, is stiffer and trickier to control, but it is recommended for more experienced players who know how to harness its power. With greater explosiveness and stiffness, carbon allows you to do more on the court, especially when capitalising on high balls and volleys. 

Foam: Soft or Hard? 

The foam, also referred to as rubber, is the core material located between the faces that varies depending on your playing style. For more control and above all playing comfort, a Soft foam will be used. For more stiffness and responsiveness, a Hard foam is the right foam for you. Be careful, however, of the various injuries this type of rubber can cause, especially to the elbow, due to vibrations, which are more noticeable than with a soft foam. 

Adidas padel racket, always at the cutting edge of technology 

With all the experience Adidas possesses in other sports, and notably thanks to the expertise of Ale Galan, the German brand's engineers have redoubled their efforts to deliver increasingly innovative technologies. For example, with Multiweight technology, which allows you to remove weight from a racket and customise it to make it lighter or heavier. Its evolution from 2023 onwards allows you to place weight in the head or on the sides of the racket to adjust it to best match your playing style. For more power, place the weights exclusively at the top of the face; for more balance, favour the sides. Thanks to Adidas, customise the weight of your pala as you wish! 

Alejandro Galan chose Adidas for his padel racket, but that is not all  

Beyond this great initiative for the environment, Adidas is also strongly represented on the professional tour with a prime partner: Ale Galan. The 26-year-old Spaniard is already a major player on the professional tour and forms one of the best pairings in modern padel alongside Juan Lebron. In addition to this impressive level of play, he is also the president of the players' association, representing the stars' rights across the various professional circuits. Galan is a key part of the padel ecosystem, and Adidas is proud to have him on board. 

It is notably through him that tests for all products are conducted, such as padel shoes or Adidas padel outfits. He even tests the balls! An essential asset for a major padel brand. 

Adidas commits to the environment 

In addition to making quality rackets for all padel players, Adidas has created a range called Greenpadel, offering rackets made from natural and recycled materials. The only brand on the market offering this kind of innovation for the planet. The palas in this range are made of flax fibre, a 100% biodegradable and renewable material. For now, only a few rackets use this type of material, but the brand has no intention of stopping there and already has other ideas in mind to make padel go hand in hand with ecology.
