Our Journey: Why We Created This System
Over the past few years, as we've helped hundreds of players choose rackets, we've noticed the same problem over and over again: technical specifications are hard to understand, and advice is hard to apply to yourself .
Many of our customers have spent hours trying to figure out which racket is right for them. Reading forum discussions, watching videos, asking friends – but still feeling lost among dozens of options.
That's why we created the Padel Crush® rating system - a simple, clear and fast way to find the perfect racket. Over the past year, we have analyzed more than 200 rackets, consulted with professional players and created a system that works.
Introducing the Padel Crush® Rating System: An Easier Way to Choose the Perfect Racket
Have you ever stood in front of dozens of paddle rackets and didn't know which one is right for you? Have you read complicated technical specifications but still had no clarity? We understand you.
That's why we created the Padel Crush® rating system - a unique, simple and quick way to find the racket that ideally suits your playing level and style.
🎯 What is Padel Crush® Rating?
This is a 1-5 scale system that immediately shows what level of player the racket is intended for:
⭐ 1.0-2.5 – Beginners
Maximum control, forgiveness for mistakes, easy to handle. Ideal for those just starting to play padel or who want to improve their technique.
Characteristics: round shape, light weight, soft core, low balance
⭐⭐⭐ 2.6-3.6 – Average Level
Balance between power and control. Versatile rackets suitable for players who already have experience and want to progress.
Characteristics: teardrop shape, medium weight, hybrid core, center balance
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 3.7-5.0 – Advanced and Professional

💭 Important Note: Racket Feel is a Personal Thing
The ranking is a great guide, but it's only part of the story.
Every player is unique – their hand size, playing style, physical shape, technique, and even the way you feel the racket in your hand are all different. The feel of a racket is a very personal thing that is difficult to define with numbers.
One racket may be perfect for one player but not quite right for another – even if they are at a similar level. That's completely normal!
Therefore, our goal is to help you with as much data and information as possible to make your choice easier and more informed. Ratings, technical specifications, descriptions - all of this is designed to simplify the process and help you find the racket that will really suit you.
If you have any doubts or questions, you can always write to us. We will be happy to help!

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a racket with a higher rating than my level?
Technically yes, but we don't recommend it. Higher-rated rackets require better technique and fitness. Choosing a racket that is too difficult can slow down your progress and increase your risk of injury.
How often should I change my racket to a higher rating?
On average, every 12-18 months, when you feel your current racket is becoming too easy to control and you want more power. Listen to your body and the changes in your game.
Do all manufacturers use the same rating system?
No, the Padel Crush® rating system is unique to our store. We independently evaluate the characteristics of each racket and assign a rating according to our methodology.
Can I try the racket before buying?
Unfortunately, we don't have a demo program at the moment, but our rating system and detailed descriptions will help you choose the right racket. You can also contact us for a consultation!
What if I'm between two levels?
If you are unsure between two ratings, we recommend starting with the lower one. It is better to have a racket that you can control well than to struggle with equipment that is too complex.
