@toburu.cow: The racket is never the problem in the first two years, and I say that as someone who bought three of them trying to find out. Smashing everything is the giveaway — if you cannot hit it down and away, you are just returning a faster ball to two people standing at the net. The lob is boring and it wins. The second one I resisted for ages because I did not want to watch myself play, but Padel AI pulled one shot out of a single match that was costing me the tight games, and I had no idea it was even happening. What would yours turn out to be?
