Take the on-court comparison sheet ↗What we calculate – and what we don’t
The scale shows the manufacturer’s published weight. PadelTrue’s illustrative felt-weight estimate multiplies it by balance, body-profile and discomfort factors, then rounds to 5 g. Balance: low 0.97, medium or unknown 1.00, high 1.04. Body-profile index = figure coefficient (male 1.00, female 0.65) × √(body weight ÷ 75) × build coefficient (lean 0.95, regular 1.00, broad 1.05). The body factor is (1 ÷ index)^0.25, limited to 0.90–1.20. Each selected discomfort adds 3%, capped at 12%. Height changes the figure only. These coefficients are PadelTrue modelling choices, not measurements of your grip strength. The displayed range comes from the manufacturer’s weight range, not a confidence interval. Use the estimate as a starting point for trying a racket.

Padel racket weight, balance and your next change
Racket Lab compares a padel racket’s published weight with an illustrative felt-weight estimate. Choose a model, explore the profile settings and see the manufacturer’s weight range alongside the estimate. The formula and its assumptions are available above.
The estimate is not a measurement of your strength or swingweight, and it cannot predict whether a racket will relieve pain. Height changes the figure only. Weigh your own racket to find its actual weight.
Thinking about a different racket?
Start with your current model, choose what you want to keep and what you want to change, then explore comparisons based on published specifications. The conversational guide can help explain those choices.
