Padel Saver Tips: Should you purchase a prior season’s racket?
It should be no difficulty to purchase a racket from the previous season as long as it has been preserved in suitable conditions. Make sure that in storage, there have been no significant temperature fluctuations, and it has remained dry.
Many individuals, I know, prefer to wait for a new collection to be released before investing in a racket from a prior collection at a lower price. Most of the time, this won’t affect your padel performance.
Another dilemma is if you should switch your racket with someone else if it isn’t exactly suitable for you. The ideal circumstance is for you to be able to try out the racket before making a selection. Then you may check for yourself whether any obvious flaws might influence the usage.
As you can see, the lifespan of a paddle tennis racket is determined by a variety of circumstances that you need to know.
Here are factors that influence how long a paddle tennis racquet lasts:
Periodicity. Whether you play once a month or have a match five or six times a week, a racket will not last as long.
Rackets, on average, last a year when used twice a week. When the frequency of matches is 4 to 5 weeks, on the other hand, the adjustment would have to be done every six months.
When investing in a racket make sure you choose an appropriate one for your playstyle. There’s not much to maintain if you don’t choose the right racket, to begin with. You also don’t want to be in the nightmare of choosing an expensive racket that doesn’t suit your needs.

Material: the material used to make a blade has an impact on how long it lasts
The most resistant frames are those composed of carbon fiber. Fiberglass frames are less durable and endure for a shorter time. The core’s material has an impact on its durability and performance. FOAM cores are less durable than EVA rubber cores. But keep in mind that it all relies on how you play and how you utilize it.
Here’s how you can test your padel racket to see if it’s best suited for your padel needs:
Age. The age of the racket has an impact on its performance. The older a racket is, the more wear it has and the less effective it is. The materials lose their properties with time. The durability of rackets is also influenced by the weather. After one year of usage, a padel tennis racket starts to lose quality.
