Which SOTTO. racket should I buy?
If you are newer to padel or win points by keeping the ball in play, choose 01 Control. If you play regularly and do a bit of everything, choose 02 Balance. If you are confident at the net and want more pace on the smash, choose 03 Power. The racket finder asks three questions and recommends one.
What does the 60-day court trial mean?
Buy a racket, play with it for up to 60 days, and if it is not right for your game, send it back for a full refund. It does not need to be unused. We only ask that it has not been damaged by misuse.
What does the warranty cover?
Every racket has a 2-year warranty against manufacturing faults in the frame, face and core. It does not cover cracks from hitting the wall, fence or floor, or normal wear to the surface and grip.
How much does delivery cost?
UK delivery is free on every racket and on any order over £50. Smaller orders are £3.95. Next working day delivery is £6.95. We currently ship to UK addresses only.
What do EVA, carbon count and balance mean?
EVA is the foam core: soft EVA is forgiving and easy on the arm, hard EVA returns energy fast for power. The carbon number (12K, 18K, 24K) is the thread count in each carbon bundle: higher is stiffer and more direct. Balance is where the weight sits: low balance is quick and controllable, high balance puts more weight behind the smash.
How do I look after my racket?
Keep it in its sleeve or a cover, out of hot cars and direct sun. Change the overgrip every few sessions. Wipe the face with a dry cloth after play. Avoid hitting the walls and fence: that is the most common cause of a cracked frame.
