This innovation is exclusive to Decathlon.The racket is made from a single piece of EVA foam covered with a composite fibre surface. The larger EVA foam surface increases the head's sweet spot and therefore makes it more forgiving of centring errors, resulting in better ball control.

What is Full EVA?

Padel emerged in Mexico in the late 1960s. This fun sport soon found its way to Spain, Argentina, and later to all Spanish-speaking South American countries. Padel is currently the second-most played sport in Spain, behind soccer but ahead of tennis. There are eight million players around the world.

Do you know what padel is?

Matches are played in teams of two (doubles). Two serves are allowed and must be played underhand, diagonally across the court. One bounce is allowed. The ball must hit the ground before any other part of the court. The ball can be hit against a wall after it has bounced (wall only, not the metal fence). The ball can leave the court after bouncing and can be hit back into play from outside the court. The points system is the same as tennis.

How do you play padel?

For a better start, use balls designed for beginners. They are softer and slower for learning to control shots easier. Appropriate shoes will prevent slipping on padel courts, often in artificial grass with sand.
Finally, taking classes will help beginners learn faster and avoid developing bad habits, such as using the same techniques in tennis or squash.

To start you off on the right foot, our design team has some tips:

Padel Tennis

Waterproof coating: 2 hours (5,000 Schmerbers), 100% waterproof seams. PFC-free.

Hydrophilic coating (RET = 12): reduces condensation in the garment.

Breathability

Wide fit to get them on easily. Side buttons.

Anatomic design

Schmerber

This garment was subjected to a shower test using 60 litres of water/m²/hour for 2 hours. This test reproduces average rain shower conditions in the mountains.
A waterproof rating of 5,000 mm means the fabric can withstand pressure exerted by 5,000 mm of water (the equivalent of a rain shower lasting for two hours).
Waterproofing is expressed in Schmerber units (for example: 5,000 Schmerbers). 

Component waterproofing

To assess the breathability of the fabric or the evaporative resistance, we measure RET (test based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower the fabric's resistance, the more water vapour generated by physical activity evaporates, and the higher the fabric's breathability. For example: RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric/9 < RET < 12 = very breathable fabric/12 < RET < 20 = breathable fabric/RET > 20 = little or no breathability.

Component breathability

We conduct numerous laboratory tests to validate the highest standards in terms of durability: an abrasion- and friction-resistance test to ensure that the fleece does not pill; a colourfastness test to check the behaviour and resistance of the colours; and an aging test to ensure that repeated washing does not alter the fabric’s properties, thickness, or appearance.
