<\/span>How to get off to a good start on the court<\/mark><\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beginner’s guide to paddle: If you’re thinking about getting started in paddle tennis, welcome to one of the most fun, social and addictive sports around! Whether you are someone who has never picked up a paddle or you come from other racket sports, this guide is designed for you. We explain the most important equipment, basic tips and practical recommendations to make your first steps on the court a complete success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Choosing the right racket to start<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the most common mistakes among beginners is to get carried away by the design or the rackets used by professionals. But in reality, the best racket to start with is the one that adapts to your level and helps you improve comfortably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>What type of racket is best for a beginner?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Round shape: the most recommended for beginners. This type of racket has a wider and more centered sweet spot, which facilitates control and reduces hitting errors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Low or medium balance: balance refers to where the weight of the racket is concentrated. A low balance makes it easier to handle and more comfortable for the arms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Light or medium weight (350-365 g): avoid heavy blades, as they can cause fatigue or even discomfort if your technique is not yet developed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • More flexible materials: fiberglass faces and FOAM rubber cores are more elastic and cushion impacts better, which helps inexperienced players.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    <\/span>Some recommended models<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

    Brands such as Bullpadel, Siux, Head or Adidas have specific ranges for beginners. Rackets like the Bullpadel Indiga, Head Evo Sanyo or Siux Fusion are excellent options for their control, lightness and affordable price.\u00e7<\/p>\n\n\n
