Every weight is measured per racquet and printed on the frame. If a number in this table ever changes, the page changes with it.
Why ours cost $149 and theirs cost $400.
Most of the world's padel racquets, ours and the famous ones, come out of a small number of specialist factories working from shared open moulds. The carbon is the carbon. The EVA is the EVA.
From there, a tour brand adds sponsorship contracts, television budgets, a distributor and retail margin. We add a margin that keeps the lights on, publish every number, and ship direct from the Gold Coast.
You are welcome to pay the difference. You are just not required to.
