The Y1 CX3 is built for intermediate players who want a control racket with easy accuracy and comfortable touch.
- 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: Carbon, firmer and more direct, turning your swing speed straight into ball speed.
- Balance: Low, handle heavy. The head feels light and quick in your hand, easy at the net.
- Weight: 365-380g, a sturdier build with more stability and weight behind the ball.
- Surface: A rough finish grips the ball, making slice and topspin easier to add.
- Standout: The cork layer integrated into the 3K carbon face absorbs vibration while keeping the frame responsive, a genuine step up in comfort at this price.
- Value: Honest construction for honest progression - the step up from entry level buys you proper carbon stiffness without sacrificing arm comfort.
- 3K Carbon Face with Cork Layer: A woven carbon surface gives stiffness and durability, while the cork layer underneath absorbs shock and vibration. You get responsive power without harsh feedback through the arm, especially helpful on mishits.
- PrecisionTech EVA Core: A medium-density foam core that balances power and control. Firm enough to return energy on drives, soft enough to let you place touch shots with feel.
- OptiFlow Holes System: Hole drilling pattern designed to reduce air resistance and improve weight distribution across the face. Faster swing speed and a more consistent sweet spot, especially helpful for players still building racket-head control.
- Double Tube Framework: Reinforced tubular frame structure that increases torsional rigidity. The racket twists less on angled impacts, improving stability and durability without adding much weight.
- Sandpaper Surface Finish: A rough textured surface that grips the ball longer on contact. Makes it easier to generate topspin on drives and slice on defensive lobs, giving you more control over ball trajectory.

How can I guarantee next day delivery?

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.
