Video overview
The Babolat Stima Spirit is built for intermediate players who want a control-focused racket with enough forgiveness and comfort to play longer without arm strain.
- Shape: Round, so the sweet spot is big and central. Off-centre hits stay in play, giving you control and forgiveness.
- Level: Suits intermediate players.
- Face: Fiberglass, softer and more comfortable on impact. The right choice while you develop.
- Balance: Medium, an even feel between quickness in hand and punch on the ball.
- Weight: 340g, light enough to swing all session without tiring your arm.
- Surface: A rough finish grips the ball, making slice and topspin easier to add.
- Standout: The longer handle offers more leverage on smashes than most round rackets, adding punch to an otherwise control-oriented design.
- Value: This is the step up from beginner level: soft fiberglass for comfort, a large sweet spot for consistency, and genuine tech for vibration reduction and spin.
- Soft Fiberglass Surface: Fiberglass is softer and more elastic than carbon, generating power with less effort and absorbing more shock on impact. At intermediate level, this forgiveness lets you focus on placement and spin without needing perfect technique on every shot.
- Black EVA Core: A softer EVA foam core that compresses more on contact, giving a comfortable feel and helping the ball exit the racket smoothly. This makes acceleration feel natural rather than forced, particularly useful for players building consistency.
- 3D Spin+ Textured Surface: A rough surface texture that grips the ball longer, making it easier to add spin and control shot trajectory. Spin helps you keep the ball in play and vary pace, two essentials as you move beyond beginner rallies.
- Vibrasorb System: Babolat's vibration-dampening technology, integrated into the frame to reduce shock transmission to your arm. Comfort matters over long matches, and less vibration means less fatigue and lower injury risk.
- Round Shape with Large Sweet Spot: The round head concentrates weight low and wide, creating a large forgiving zone in the centre of the face. Off-centre hits still feel controlled, and the balance makes the racket easy to manoeuvre at the net.
- Medium Balance: Weight is distributed evenly between head and handle, giving you a neutral feel that does not pull toward power or extreme control. This makes the racket versatile across different shots and easier to handle for players still refining their game.
- Longer Handle: An extended grip length that lets you use both hands more comfortably and adds leverage on smashes. This gives you extra reach and power on overhead shots, a useful advantage in a racket otherwise built for control.
The stima spirit is one of best control padel's for female players we have at the EP store, soft feel, lightweight and HUGE sweet spot.

How can I guarantee next day delivery?
Order any in-stock item before our daily cut-off and we'll dispatch it the same day on a next day delivery service, free of charge. Everything listed as in stock is sitting in our warehouse ready to go, so there's no waiting on suppliers. Orders placed after the cut-off, on weekends or on bank holidays are dispatched the next working day. If you need something for a specific date, message us before ordering and we'll confirm it'll make it in time.
How do I choose the right padel racket for my skill level and playing style?
Start with your level, then your style. As a rough guide: round rackets have a big sweet spot and maximum control, ideal for beginners and defensive players. Teardrop rackets balance power and control, perfect for most intermediate players. Diamond rackets are power-focused with a smaller sweet spot, best for advanced, aggressive players. The quickest way to narrow it down is our Racket Quiz, answer a few questions about your level, style and budget and it'll recommend the best options currently in stock. You can also check out our YouTube channel where we review and test rackets on court, or just message us on WhatsApp and we'll recommend one personally.
