The price of a padel racket runs from €40 for an entry-level model to €350 for the signature racket of a professional player. This is how the market is put together in 2026, and where your money actually goes.
The price brackets
- €40 to €90: entry level. Often a fibreglass face and a soft core. Fine for discovering the sport, but it wears out faster and gives you less feel for the ball.
- €90 to €180: mid-range. Carbon face, EVA core, sound finish. This is where the best value sits for most players.
- €180 to €350: top end. Stiffer grades of carbon, specialist playing properties, brand name and marketing. Relevant for advanced competition players.
What are you actually paying for?
Three things set the price: the material of the face (fibreglass is cheaper, carbon is stiffer and more hard-wearing), the core (EVA foam in various densities) and the brand. That last one counts for more than many players realise: the big brands spend heavily on sponsorship and advertising, and that sits in the price. How to work out which properties you actually need is covered in how to choose a padel racket.
What does a custom padel racket cost?
With us you decide what your racket costs, based on what goes on it. Prices include VAT:
- Blank racket (no print): €79.99
- Printed face (colour, name or logo): €99.99
- Full Custom (face plus side): €119.99
- Duo Deal (2 Full Custom rackets): €200
- Premium protective case: +€10
Every version uses the same base racket: round shape, 3K carbon face, EVA foam core, 360 grams, with a 12-month warranty. So you pay extra only for the personalisation, not for a different racket. Shipping is shown separately at checkout and depends on the country, from €6.95 in the Netherlands to €17.95 in the United Kingdom. For companies and clubs there are tiered prices from 5 rackets upwards, ex VAT: €99 each for 5, €89 for 10, €79 for 25, €74 for 50, and a quote for 100 or more.
When is more expensive worth it?
If you play competition three times a week and have a pronounced attacking style, a specialist top model can make a difference. For everyone else the rule holds: above €120 you are mostly buying margin and marketing. You are better off putting that difference into coaching, or into a racket that is personal and gives you pleasure every week.
