unparalleled technology
POWER, COMFORT & HANDLING are the three main characteristics Adidas work with with to define the performance of each model.
R&D is focused on the combination of different formats, weights, materials and technologies that make each Adidas racket an ideal tool for each type of player.
What is an adidas padel racket made of?
POWER TECHNOLOGY
The power technologies serves to optimize the energy of the player. The determining factor when we refer to power is the structural rigidity that prevents the dissipation of the energy applied by the player in every shot.
EFFECTS TECHNOLOGY
PADEL FIBRES
Adidas padel rackets work with 6 fibres. Each fiber has a different flexibility and this enhances and adjusts the power and comfort of the rackets.
The greater the flexibility of the fibre, the more ball control and comfort. With less flexible fibre you get increased power in the racquet.
- On high-speed and aggressive hits of the racket, less flexibility allows more power from the return of the ball allowing for a higher speed hit.
- With a stationary racquet and low speed hits, a more flexible fibre allows the rackets rubber core to perform more work and achieve an effective rebound.
PADEL RUBBERS
The rubber is a very important ingredient when discussing the performance of a padel racket. At Adidas we work with three EVA rubbers that differentiate the performance of each of the padel rackets. They can be identified by the racket cap color (blue, black and red).
One of the main components of the rubber is its density, and the one that defines its memory. The ability of the rubber to recover its initial position in a shorter time is an important determining factor. The higher the density, the greater the power and the lower the density, the greater the control and comfort.
- On high speed and aggressive hits, a higher memory will allow the rubber to recover faster and propel the ball at a higher speed.
- With stationary racket and low speed hits, a lower
density allows the ball to be rebounded efficiently and with
greater control.
