The new Drive range: The perfect partner to start in padel

Are you new to padel - one of the world’s fastest growing sports? If so, the purchase of your first racket is important as it will accompany you on your initial journey in the sport and help you become comfortable with all sorts of shots and effects. Knowing where to start out can be a bit daunting but here at All For Padel we are here to help.

In this post, we’ll take a look at three rackets in the Drive range in the 2023 collection - rackets that are all ideal for starting out in the game - and also for more experienced players looking to improve their shot selection.

Three new rackets to Drive you forward

When looking for a padel racket to start out in the game or improve your shot selection if you have already played a few times, there are a few key things to look out for. One of those is a round head, which allows the racket to have a great hitting area and larger sweet spot, meaning you’ll be comfortable on court as you learn. All of the rackets in the Drive range have this feature.

Let’s take a greater look at the Drive 3.2. This racket is perfect if you are looking at advancing your game rapidly, working on your array of shots, but doing so with a comfortable racket in hand. With a surface of 519 cm2, it features a large playing sweet spot, perfect for getting greater precision. This racket is a solid one, and features Structural Reinforcement technology around the perimeter which means it offers greater resistance. The Linear Smart Holes technology adds some extra durability to the Drive 3.2, allowing you to really generate some extra power too.

Don’t worry though - this racket is made from glass fibre and also features Eva Soft Performance rubber - two elements that offer great comfort while holding the racket on court. It’s a perfect racket to discover your game and make the improvements you’re aiming for.

The Drive Light 3.2 is a racket that will give you extra piece of mind and allow you to focus fully on your shot selection and discovering your love of padel. It features all of the cutting edge technology as the Drive 3.2: Structural Reinforcement, Linear Smart Holes, and is also made of glass fibre. But the extra few grams in lightness can make a difference when it comes to comfort, especially for a beginner. This racket still packs a punch though, and with the rigidity offered, you’ll still be able to get plenty of power behind your shots.

If the colour of your racket is an important element, the Drive 3.2 comes in a black and yellow combination, while the Drive Light 3.2 is a green and black combination.

The final racket in the Drive range is the Drive Bronze 3.2. This is a slick looking racket that, as the name suggests, is bronze in colour. This racket is one that will allow you to reach your full potential in padel and will accompany on your journey in this great sport. It is designed to feature the best of both worlds - comfort and power. As a result, it includes technology such as structural reinforcement, and Eva Soft Performance rubber. The Linear Holes technology, as well as giving the racket extra durability, will let you explore some extra effects on your shots such as spin.

These three rackets are all ideal to accompany you in your first steps in padel.
