Women's Padel Rackets
More women are picking up padel in New Zealand than ever before — and the right racket makes a real difference to how the game feels from day one.
Women's padel rackets are typically lighter (355-368g) and have softer cores that maximise touch and control without requiring the swing speed that heavier, stiffer rackets demand. They're not "lesser" rackets — they're engineered for a different playing style and physiology, and the best ones perform beautifully.
Whether you're just starting out or have been playing for years, this selection has been chosen by our coaching team with women's play specifically in mind. Come in and try a few at Padel Park Hamilton.
The Air Vertuo is the racket I most often recommend to players who want attacking depth without the weight penalty. Carbon construction, teardrop shape, and a balance that delivers real pace on smashes — without making your arm pay for it the next morning.
