Best women's padel rackets
8 rackets · prices checked 5 October 2026
A women's padel racket is a lighter racket in a different colour. There is no rule about it and nothing structural that makes it a women's racket; the brands take a model, drop the weight by ten or fifteen grams, often soften the core, and sell it under another name.
That doesn't make them a con. Lighter and softer is a real difference, and the top women's models (the ones the leading women professionals use) are as serious as anything in the men's range. But it does mean you shouldn't feel limited to this list, and that a man who wants a light racket should look here too.
The lightweight list covers the same ground without the label, and the guide goes into what actually differs.
What gets in: Sold by the brand as a women's model, with shape and level published.
The order: how many UK shops stock it, then how well it fits the list, then price. We have not play-tested these rackets, so “best” here means best fit on the brand’s published specs at today’s price, and nothing more. No brand or shop pays to be included. We may earn a commission if you buy through a shop link, and where two rackets tie, one we can earn on goes first. How we work.

Sometimes a genuinely different racket, sometimes the same racket in a different colour. Here is how to tell.
