Black Friday padel: rackets and shoes

A big promotional moment before winter

The Black Friday kicks off the promotion season, leading up to the holidays and then the padel sales. It's often the best time to upgrade from a beginner racket to a more advanced model, or to replace shoes that are worn out on synthetic grass.

Rackets, shoes, clothing, balls: where to start

Each category has its own page, filtered by a single type of product.

• The padel rackets on sale can be compared by shape, weight, and level of play.
• The padel shoes from the Black Friday are sorted by size, gender, and brand.
• The padel clothing includes shorts, tank tops, t-shirts, skirts, and dresses.
• The padel balls are sold in tubes for weekly matches.
• The padel accessories complete the bag: racket bags, wristbands, overgrips.

Round, teardrop, diamond: shape comes first

The shape of the racket influences your game before the brand. The round shape places the sweet spot in the center and is forgiving: it's the shape for beginners and defensive players. The teardrop shape balances control and power. The diamond shape shifts the weight to the head for powerful smashes, but it's a more demanding racket to handle.

Head, Asics, Nox: brands that matter on the court

• Head offers rackets and shoes, including the versatile Speed, the power-oriented Extreme, and the Motion Pro shoe designed for lateral support.
• Asics fits a large number of players, from the Gel-Dedicate for the club to the lighter Sonicsmash for those who play fast.
• Nox, a brand born from padel, notably offers the AT10 range.
• Bullpadel, Wilson, and Babolat expand the options in both rackets and clothing.

Tennis, badminton, squash: other racket sports on sale

The Black Friday also has its page for tennis, badminton, squash, and table tennis. For younger players, head to the Black Friday junior page, and all offers can be found on the Black Friday page.

Other great padel deals all year round

The padel clearance features end-of-line products, especially from Nox and Bullpadel. The padel shipped in 24h page lists items ready to go, and the new padel arrivals showcase the latest models.

Frequently asked questions

What is a cheap padel racket for beginners?

A round, lightweight racket with a soft rubber that forgives off-center hits. On the padel rackets from the Black Friday page, filter by beginner level to find these models.

Can you play padel with tennis shoes?

For a trial, yes. For regular play, padel soles grip better on sanded synthetic grass and prevent slipping. Dedicated models are on the padel shoes on sale page.

Are tennis balls suitable for padel?

No: the padel ball is slightly less pressurised, making it slower and easier to control against the walls. Get padel balls to achieve the right bounce.

What should you wear to play padel?

A pair of shorts or a skirt with a ball pocket and a quick-drying technical top. The padel clothing from the Black Friday page can be filtered by gender and type of clothing.

Do you need a special bag for a padel racket?

It's not mandatory, but a cover or a bag protects the frame from impacts and heat, which hardens the rubber. The bags can be found on the padel accessories page.
