The new Match: three rackets to start dominating on the padel court

More and more people are taking their first steps on the padel court and being encouraged by what they experience.The vast majority of those who give our sport a chance want to repeat it. Once started, there is a decision that marks a before and after: the acquisition of our first racket. It is a moment full of doubts. Which racket should I get? What is the right one for me?

There are many aspects to take into account when choosing our first racket, but the main one is that it allows us to develop all aspects of our game. We need a complete racket that makes things easier for us. The new collection of the Match range offers three rackets that meet these requirements. We’ll take a greater look at them now.

The Match 2023 range

The Match 3.2 is a basic racket in the good sense of the word. Without great fanfare, it has everything a player who takes their first steps in padel needs. It is designed to make everything as easy as possible. Because when you start, the most important thing is to be accurate in your shots and, from there, grow game by game.

Its round shape is ideal for achieving optimal shots. It is the shape that allows you to have better control of the racket because it maintains the balance of weights in the center and enlarges the sweet spot, the ideal impact zone. In addition, it has a large hitting surface of 520 square centimeters, a feature that makes it easy to achieve accurate shot making.

Its composition combines EVA Soft Performance rubber inside with glass fibre on the surface. This pairing guarantees comfort, a key aspect when we first take to the court. Regarding technologies, Structural Reinforcement ensures greater durability and gives us a power point when we want to attack. For its part, the Linear Smart Holes also improves the resistance of the racket.

Now let’s look at the Match Light 3.2. As its name suggests, we are looking at a lighter racket than the Match 3.2. Its lower weight, up to 15 grams, facilitates the handling of the racket, an aspect to take into account for those who are not used to carrying weight in their arms. Losing grams can be the difference when it comes to comfort.

The vast majority of features, minus the weight, are the same as Match 3.2. They share composition and technologies. The only notable difference is the shape of the head. The Match Light 3.2 has the All Round shape, also known as the teardrop. This means it is also easy to handle and adds the ability to generate power in shots.

Our review ends with the Match Bronze 3.2, the racket designed for the most attacking game of the three Match 2023. It is a racket that maintains the fundamentals that guarantee ease of use and the best features for the player to feel comfortable from the first moment. But it has details that allow you to get a spark of power at the right moments.

It has the same composition and technologies of the two Match rackets that we have already talked about. But it adopts aspects from the previous rackets to differentiate itself from both. From the Match 3.2 it maintains its greater weight and from the Match Light 3.2, with the All Round shape. What do we get with both? We reach the most powerful model of the three that make up the Match range in the 2023 collection. With this, we are left with a comfortable racket, easy to master, which allows us to grow and which allows us to channel the maximum power when the chance arises.

The Match Bronze combines black in its finish with the colour that gives it its name, bronze. The Match 3.2 maintains black and incorporates light blue, while in the Match Light 3.2 pink is the predominant tone.

With the three Match blades of the new 2023 collection we find different paths to start our journey in padel. All of them with the same base, but, in turn, with nuances to find the one that best suits our needs.
