This collection groups padel products associated with Marta Ortega and provides practical criteria for selecting equipment according to playing style and frequency of use.
What to consider when choosing padel rackets
When choosing a padel racket, pay attention to shape and balance, as they influence control and power.
Round: prioritises control and a more predictable ball response.
Teardrop: a balance between control and power.
Diamond: aimed at players seeking greater power.
Take into account weight and balance: lighter weights make manoeuvrability easier; heavier weights help with smashes and stability.
Padel shoes and soles
Padel shoes should offer a secure fit and adequate grip. Choose the sole according to the tread pattern and traction required:
Clay: sole with channelled grooves and a herringbone pattern to improve grip and the expulsion of debris.
All court: soles designed for traction across varied surfaces.
Ensure the shoe provides lateral support and cushioning for the frequent lateral movements in padel.
Padel bags, clothing and accessories
Consider capacity and protection for transporting your equipment; for garments prioritise breathability and freedom of movement. Overgrips and vibration dampeners allow you to personalise the feel and protection of your equipment.
Tips for choosing
First define your priority — control, power or versatility — and filter by padel racket characteristics and the fit of the shoe. Try the fit with the type of socks you wear on court and combine equipment according to frequency of use.
