FAQ

Why the name Advance Padel?

Advance Padel reflects the journey every player is on — improving over time, match by match, always moving forward.

That belief shaped our logo, designed in collaboration with the founder’s young son, an avid padel player. It symbolises progress, momentum and upward movement, expressed through a mark that is both sharp and simple.

Viewed from one angle, it reveals the silhouette of the letter A. From another, it becomes the letter P. Together, all these elements represent what Advance Padel stands for.

Which racket is best for me?

We have two rackets, the Ace X Lite and Ace X Strike

Both rackets are the same custom Advance Padel design with our unique A shaped vibration support. The difference between the two is the weight balance with the Lite being less head heavy and the Strike being more head heavy (the head of the racket being the top, furthest part from the handle).

Both rackets feature textured surface to provide additional spin, are 18k carbon with eva core foam.

Tennis elbow is a common condition experienced by padel players, including ourselves in the past. We wanted to create a racket that is easy on the elbow while still offering good overall balance of control and power. The lighter balance Ace X Lite is this racket. It is easy on the elbow while still being competitive in high level games. The round shape ensures a large sweet spot. Suitable for any level of player that wants to invest in a good all round racket with light balance.

The Ace X Strike has a similar large sweet spot but with slightly heavier head balance offering more power. It does however put a little more strain on the elbow (but no more than the average racket from most other brands), it is not heavily weighted towards the head end (we know too many people who have experienced tennis elbow from heavier head weighted rackets that we do not make one like that).

We recommend this racket for more experienced players who are looking for a little more power.

If you feel elbow / shoulder pain when playing padel we advise you to rest until it has subsided before playing again. While our rackets have been designed with a deliberate aim to avoid tennis elbow everyone is different – we do believe our Ace X Lite is better for the elbow than the vast majority of rackets on the market.
