In Colombia, many players end up wasting their money because they are unaware of the most common mistakes when buying a racket.

❌ ERROR #1: BUYING A PROFESSIONAL PADDLE WITHOUT HAVING THE SKILL

🧠 What's happening:

Many players see that professionals use rackets like the Vertex or Metalbone and believe that this will make them play better.


💥 Problem:

These shovels:

  • They are harder
  • They require technique
  • Forgive fewer mistakes

✅ Solution:

👉 If you are a beginner or intermediate user:
Choose control or hybrid blades

“Bullpadel is better”, “Nox is better”…

Most people don't even ask how much the shovel weighs.


💥 Problem:

  • Very lightweight → lack of power

✅ Solution:

👉 Beginner: 355–365g
👉 Intermediate: 360–370g
👉 Advanced: 365–375g


❌ ERROR #4: BUYING WITHOUT TESTING OR ADVICE

🧠 What's happening:

They buy on impulse or based on what they saw on Instagram.
