The adidas Match Black/Orange is built for beginners who want easy control and a forgiving feel while they learn the game.
- Shape: Round, so the sweet spot is big and central. Off-centre hits stay in play, giving you control and forgiveness.
- Level: Suits beginner 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: 360-370g, a middle-ground weight most players adapt to quickly.
- Value: Simple construction, and that is the point. No reason to spend more until your technique asks for it.
- Fiberglass surface: Fiberglass flexes more than carbon, absorbing vibration and slowing the ball down slightly on contact. That translates to softer feel, easier control, and less strain on your elbow and shoulder while you build technique.
- Soft EVA core: A forgiving foam core that cushions impact and gives predictable, moderate rebound. You get consistent depth on groundstrokes without the ball flying long when you catch it off-centre.
- Smart Hole drilling pattern: The hole layout reinforces the hitting surface around the sweet spot, improving durability where beginner rackets take the most punishment from mishits and scuffs.
- Structural perimeter reinforcement: Extra material around the frame edge protects against chips and cracks from wall contact and ground strikes, extending the racket's working life through the learning phase.

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.
