🛑 Is your padel racket “dead” without you knowing it?
The Hard Truth: Even a high-end racket only keeps peak performance for about 1 year of regular play.
Over time, the EVA core loses elasticity. What used to be power becomes vibration, and that’s exactly how tennis elbow starts.
3 Signs your racket is “dead” (even if it’s not cracked):
🔊 Sound changes: A dull or hollow pop = degraded core.
📉 Power drop: You swing harder but the ball flies slower.
⚡ More vibration: Shock in your wrist/elbow? Stop using it - this is a major injury risk.
If you notice any of these things happening, it’s probably time for a new racket.
