The rubber is a key aspect when talking about the performance of a paddle racket, it is the soul of the racket. At adidas we work with three EVA rubbers that differentiate the performance of each of the padel rackets. They are identified by the color of the paddle cap (red, blue and black).
Density is the main property of the rubber and the one that defines its memory. It means the ability of the rubber to recover its initial position in a shorter time. The higher the density, the greater the power and the lower the density, the greater the comfort.
- In aggressive or higher speed shots, a higher memory will allow the rubber to recover faster and propel the ball at a higher speed.
- With the paddle static or in low-speed shots, a lower
density allows the ball to be pushed efficiently and with
greater impulsion.
