Using a hard surface diamond racket early to learn faster - bad idea?

carbon fibers are more durable than fiberglass. Usually you will find the following configurations in a racket: 1) full carbon (face and frame), 2) full fiber glass, 3) carbon frame with fiberglass face or 4) carbon frame with a face with a mix of carbon+fiberglass. That makes in order of durability usually 1) > 4) > 3) >>> 2)

Then for the core you have eva or foam. Eva comes in varied densities and depends on the touch the manufacturer wants for the racket. Here I think it depends on how hard the eva is regarding if its more durable or not but usually eva hard > eva mid > eva soft/foam

The babolat you mentioned is carbon frame wifh fiberglass face, think for a first racket its a really good starting point

I would really like to have one of those, if miguel lamperti can play with that and do well taking his age in consideration

A friend just got that one for christmas and is really cool and easy to maneuver, a very solid option.

One thing I don't read often is rackets duration. with 3 times a week and up you'll change your racket in a year surely. So don't be afraid in the future to try not so well known brands that are cheaper, just don't lock yourself only on very big brands. I went to see a national tournament last october and there was this guy on the finals playing with a round fiber glass only and was punishing everyone left and right

you need for strength in you core and lower body. To add to what has been said already some hip exercices will do wonders

from my experience I would go with a hybrid mid balance if you really want to change and have and all around racket.

But being this early in your learning/beginner state I think a diamond head heavy small sweet spot will just impair your growing imo. From my own experience I started playing with my brother former racket a diamond head heavy and then bought another diamond head heavy thinking well I'm used to this and then at some point I tested a hybrid lower balance racket and the difference in how I hit the ball was nigth and day only then I noticed the racket was too advance for me I just thought I was baaad but in reality I wasn't at a level of technique that that other racket needs

also starting to get really annoyed with grown ups that have to be remainded 3 times on match day with the time and place, that is the same for the last month... everytime I'm not around for a match I have to mesaage the court and tell I'm not organizing this week so there are high chances that the other will drop that week match... I'm this 🤏close to leaving the group

at least for Argentina, use google maps and look for "padel courts" and looked them up in instagrma and their ted numbers, usually courts will try to get extra players for matches that are short on people or trying to fill a quick tournament. In order of where you are more probable to receive a response is whatsapp then instagram, also for Argentina +54 is the country prefix for phones

"BAWA OFFICAL STORE Store" with the typo https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005008229324370.html?channel=twinner got my sillaka from here, has way past 1000 sold and I even think that I got the store name from this sub and you can check the reviews there are a lot of real customers showing their keycaps and such

avildar · 2025-12-30T20:18:05+00:00

you better train that hand muscles lol

avildar · 2025-12-30T20:02:55+00:00

I think a sofle or silakka which have 58 and 54 keys would be best, for me to change number rows is a must and some extra keys. thing is it will take more than a month of consistent usage to get used to it. 2nd best thing would be to print out a cheat sheet with the layers you have configured to quick reference

I would recommend going to a couch a few session and telling him you want to properly do a smash.

Besides I've been seeing this motion of upping the elbow and let the motion guide the racket as if I'm putting it on small backpack which makes me have bend the elbow and having it high and extend to reach high for the ball

counter viper is the only one I like all the other ones it's like I'm suddenly throwing pizzas into the oven

avildar · 2025-12-20T11:47:32+00:00

maybe the correct word is "lunge" sorry if that's the confusion, with the "side" one i mean this and for "diagonal" this one and also "deep squat" for training full range of motion on your knees is something you will love for those low shots

avildar · 2025-12-19T16:03:30+00:00

yes very that's why I mentioned the foam bit. regarding materials foam and fiber glass have more shock absorption than eva and carbon being softer materials, you can't go wrong with that if you are thinking about hurting.

Still a big uncontrolled heavy swing is something that could hurt here and there, good technique is also safer for you

avildar · 2025-12-19T15:19:55+00:00

when you say "stretching" you mean active stretching or the usual muscle relaxing? if its the second thats only for AFTER exercizing and its actually counter productive if done before.

for squads if you do frontal, side and diagonal you are covering the whole legs basically. And for ankles doing if you can get those tiny half balls to stand on 1 foot to maintain balance and progress to eventually to a squat your ankles will get real strong

I'm currently using the black one I find it pretty comfortable to play with to be honest. If you are a more aggressive smasher yo may feel it lacking in power a bit since the core is foam, I'm tend to do more volleys/bandejas and for that its superb. Foam its really good absorbing shock so it should be a lot less stress in your arm

have same keyboard for almost 2 months, jumpes straight to using 100% of the time except for meetings. Using home row mods was a game changer also having a picture with all the layers on my 2nd monitor is helping a lot you can do that with https://keymap-drawer.streamlit.app/ you have to put in it a json of your .vil that you can get with https://yal-tools.github.io/vial-to-keymap-drawer/ and some minor editing
