The rubber is a very important ingredient when discussing the performance of a padel racquet. At adidas we work with three EVA rubbers that differentiate the performance of each of the padel racquets. They can be identified by the racquet cap color (blue, black and red).
one of the main components of the rubber is its density, and the one that defines its memory. The ability of the rubber to recover its initial position in a shorter time is an important determining factor. The higher the density, the greater the power and the lower the density, the greater the control and comfort.
- On high speed and aggressive hits, a higher memory will allow the rubber to recover faster and propel the ball at a higher speed.
- With stationary racquet and low speed hits, a lower
density allows the ball to be rebounded efficiently and with
greater control.
