Control padel rackets

Control frames move mass back down towards the handle. The sweet spot ends up large and dead centre, which is where most club players actually make contact, and the racket comes through fast enough to block a hard smash back down the line. You supply the pace and the racket supplies the margin — which is why this is the right first serious racket for most people.
