Padel Rackets Switzerland — built for the court.

Beginners should ideally choose a round racket weighing 340–360 grams with a neutral to slightly head-light balance. The round shape has the sweet spot in the center and is more forgiving on off-center shots — you'll hit clean balls more quickly and avoid overstraining your wrist and shoulder. In the VYPER range, the VYPER Flow is designed precisely for this purpose.

Depends on your playing style. Carbon is stiffer, more precise, more durable, and provides more direct feedback—the choice for players with good technique and high demands on feel. Fiberglass is softer and more elastic, the impact is lower, and the ball is easier to place—many beginner rackets use it, but it wears out faster. All VYPER rackets use high-density carbon (12K or 18K) to maintain stiffness over several seasons.

Rule of thumb by skill level: 340–360 g for beginners and women with a finer game, 360–380 g for advanced players and most all-around players, 380–390 g for professionals and powerful players who want to put power into the racket. Lighter means more agile and easier on the joints; heavier means more force—but also more strain. When in doubt, it's better to start a little lighter.

Round: Sweet spot in the center of the racket head — maximum forgiveness, ideal for beginners and control players (VYPER Flow). Teardrop: Sweet spot slightly higher, balanced mix of control and power, the universal choice for advanced players (VYPER Prime). Diamond: Sweet spot at the very top of the head, maximum power and striking force for aggressive professionals, but less forgiving on off-center hits (VYPER Venom).

Balance indicates the center of gravity of the racket — measured from the end of the grip in millimeters. Under 260 mm = head-light, very agile, maximum control. Around 270 mm = neutral, the golden mean. Over 275 mm = head-heavy, more power, but slower reaction at the net. Beginners and control players prefer lower values, power players prefer higher values.

Entry-level rackets start at around CHF 80–120, high-quality all-round models are priced at CHF 150–250, and professional rackets from major brands cost CHF 250–400. VYPER is in the premium mid-range: Swiss carbon quality without the brand surcharge of major international brands. You can find exact prices on the respective product pages for Flow, Prime, and Venom.

With normal use (2–3 times per week), a carbon paddle typically lasts 12–24 months before the foam core loses its rebound properties and the feel becomes softer. Fiberglass paddles wear out faster—more like 8–14 months. Signs it's time to replace include a softer punch, dead spots outside the sweet spot, or cracks on the edges and paddle face. VYPER offers a 30-day return policy from the date of receipt, giving you time to thoroughly test the feel.
