Main Material

This is a Decathlon-exclusive padel innovation: 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 makes it more forgiving when it comes to 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

The even balance and moderate weight help you react more quickly: 360 g +/- 7 g

One feature of flax fibre is its vibration dampening.

Vibration dampening

The full EVA design is very forgiving of centring errors.

Forgiveness

The new React is designed for advanced padel players looking for a versatile racket that can give them a competitive edge. 

Dampens vibrations: The flax more effectively dampens vibrations generated during play, reducing the impact on the player's arm.

Light weight: Flax fibre is known for its light weight, which helps make the padel racket easier to handle and play with.

Benefits of flax fibre in a padel racket

High Modulus Carbon: High-density carbon reinforcements for improved racket durability.

Full EVA Concept: A single piece of EVA foam to increase the sweet spot; very forgiving for better ball control.

Type of Accessories

We watched players on the field and spent a lot of time talking to coaches to establish their needs when setting up drills: marking points on the ground, dodging, etc. And so, the Essential collection was designed: It's made up of clever, affordable products that fulfil a major function (marking out drills, creating targets, etc.) to help you run fun, effective training sessions for all age groups. The ladder trains you to dodge obstacles. Follow the story!

The Essential range and our take on training

"When designing the Essential range, we wanted to give the products a sense of motion. That's why we added a directional aspect to each product. Every item has an arrow to mark it out as part of the range. On the agility ladder, the rungs are therefore all curved in the same direction. It's intuitive and fun, even for younger kids. The arrows show you when to accelerate and when to slow your steps."

Our soccer design team explains the Essential collection’s identity

"The Essential agility ladder is 3.2 m (3 1/2 yd) long and composed of 7 rungs spaced 51 cm (20") apart. We'll leave our design team to explain why:
"The dimensions and spacing let you set up movements without them being too long, even for kids. We also wanted a basic, affordable product that's easy to store and use so that you don't end up wasting time during training sessions. The agility ladder, you and you're ready to go!

Dimensions and design for more effective training

Having a distinctive, recognisable shape is important. But improving at training while staying safe is our priority. This is why we've checked the durability of the agility ladder during demanding tests. We put the ladder's rungs and their unusual shape through their paces at the Kipstadium in Tourcoing to make sure they're durable and stable. The result? The ladder doesn't move or get damaged during drills.

Reliability and durability tested on the field

"The agility ladder has become an essential for soccer and individual training. Improve your coordination to become a better soccer player! You'll also have better balance with faster feet. It gives you exactly the kind of footwork skills you need for soccer. And there are more than 80 drills you can do with this agility ladder! When you buy it, we'll send you an email with some videos to inspire you."

Lightweight

Designed for padel players who want an easy-to-handle racket that is forgiving and responsive. Features a Black EVA core.

Fibreglass is the most flexible outer material. The greater the fibre’s flexibility, the easier the ball comes off the racket and the more comfortable the shot feels. Less flexible fibres generate more power.

Outer material: Fibreglass

The balance point is measured in millimetres from the butt of the racket’s handle. For this model. it’s 260 mm (10.2 in).
The higher the balance point (head-heavy), the greater the power and stability of the racket, but with reduced manoeuvrability and a heavier feel. A lower balance point (grip-biased or handle-heavy) improves ease of handling, but delivers less power.


Balance: Low

A highly elastic foam that delivers maximum power and comfort on every shot.

Core material: Black EVA

The Kuikma PR Comfort is designed for intermediate players who value precision and control. From the very first rally, it stands out for its excellent handling and comfort thanks to its low balance, large sweet spot and clean ball exit.

Skill level: Intermediate

This model’s round shape creates a larger sweet spot, allowing faster, more precise shots and improved control on defence.

Playing style: Control.

Like the balance point, a racket’s weight affects its swing weight and therefore its manoeuvrability, stability, and ability to transfer energy to the ball (power). Heavier rackets deliver more power but are harder to handle. Lighter rackets are easier to handle, but the trade-off is less power.

Weight: 350 g (12.3 oz)

Weight: 350 g +/- 7 g (12.3 oz +/- 0.2 oz).
Shape: Round.
Balance: Low (260 mm | 10.2 in). 
Thickness: 38 mm. Frame composition: Two glass fibre layers. 
Core composition: Black EVA.


- Black EVA foam: Perfect balance between high performance at moderate speed and acceleration when hitting powerful shots.- Glass fibre: Comfortable feel, with moderate ball speed. 

The foam ball bounces less than a rubber ball to make the game easier.

Bounce

This active game consists of throwing the ball against a wall and catching it after a bounce on the ground to practice hand-eye coordination.

Ball Size

In wall ball, you throw the ball against a wall and catch it after a bounce on the ground. Add your own rules to vary the game.

How to play wall ball

This simple game can be played individually or with friends for an even greater challenge.

Alone or with people?

Before age 3, kids can learn to handle the ball, throw it at a target, roll it, or simply tell a story with it.
From age 3, kids can start to learn how the ball bounces and create games with it.
And at age 6, kids' hand-eye coordination allows them to learn wall ball.
But when it comes to playing, a kid's creativity has no limits!

At what age can you start playing?

The ball's foam allows for safe, pain-free play. The windows of your house will thank you as well!

Why use polyurethane foam for this ball?

Our product is suitable for children under 3 years old. We know that toddlers tend to put objects in their mouths, so we've taken this into account in our requirements for the chemical composition of the ball.

Are the materials suitable for young users?

Whether in the garden, at the beach, or indoors, this 60 mm ball is ready to turn any space into an exciting playground. Weighing just 27.2 g, it gives off a contagious energy for times of shared laughter and luminous emotion.
