How we score rackets
Our Power, Control, Comfort and Ease of use indicators (1–10) are calculated by TiebreakNews from each racket's published specifications — shape, balance, feel (core hardness), face material and weight — using the same rules for every model: diamond shapes and high balance add power, round shapes and low balance add control, soft cores and fibreglass faces add comfort, and lighter, forgiving, round frames are easier for beginners. They are a fair way to compare specs, not a lab test. Specifications come from the Padel Rackets catalogue and manufacturers; always check the retailer's product page before buying.
