My Favourite Padel Gear

In my two years of playing padel, I've been lucky enough to try lots of different rackets and equipment. I've tested brands including Bullpadel, Nox and Hirostar, and while they all have things I like about them, I always seem to come back to Babolat.

My favourite racket is the Babolat Technical Viper Juan Lebrón 2022. I know it's not the newest racket out there, and some people might call it old school, but it just feels right for my game. I like the combination of power and control, and it gives me confidence when I'm competing in matches and tournaments.

I also wear Babolat Jet Premura 3 Juan Lebrón shoes. Padel is all about movement, quick reactions and getting into the right position, so having comfortable shoes with good grip is really important. These shoes help me move around the court confidently and stay comfortable during long matches.

One thing I've learned in my two years of playing is that the best equipment isn't always the newest or most expensive. It's about finding what works for you and what makes you feel comfortable on court. For me, that's Babolat.

As I continue to improve and play more tournaments, I'll keep trying different gear, but right now my Babolat racket and shoes are my favourite setup and the equipment I trust every time I step onto the court.
