@kellycnctue: Standing in front of a wall of rackets is the worst part of padel. Round or teardrop, soft core or hard, twelve K carbon or three, and every single one of them is described as the perfect balance of power and control. Nobody in the shop can tell you which suits your swing, because nobody in the shop has watched you play. So I answered seven questions in Padel AI instead — how I play, which side I stand, what my budget honestly is, and that my elbow gives up after two hours — and it came back with a short list and one line I was not expecting: the frame you already own is fine, keep it. That is the first time anything in padel has told me not to spend money. How long have you had yours?
