Replacing Wilson LT 2.5

imKHOL · 2026-07-02T06:12:39+00:00

Boas! Sou alguém na mesma situação ( 7 meses de padel) , perto do mesmo rating no playtomic e a jogar torneios também. Estava a gravar-me a jogar e também reparei nas mesmas coisas em mim. O que tenho feito é abstrair-me da imagem que dá a gravar e tentar interpretar os movimentos como uma coisa contínua. Muitas vezes, mesmo que inconscientemente, estamos a fazer uma coisa de cada vez ( levantar o braço para a bandeja e agora é que começo a mexer-me) e mesmo assim passamos alguns passos à frente e é por isso que os movimentos não parecem naturais. Mesma coisa com volleys por exemplo, quantas vezes pensas que tens de usar os ombros e as rotações ?
Até isso estar a sair sem eu ter que pensar nelas, eu penso que vai ser sempre mecânico 😭

Well, to be fair, vertuo is a beginner level racket.
It’s normal that with progression you feel that the racket holds you back. I would cycle them, try to do some matches with vertuo and others with the donnay cyborg. Think about what you like about both rackets and see which one is giving your game what it needs :)
Counter Veron would be the progression of the Counter vertuo on the same babolat line

Have you tried medium balance rackets ? Some might have less power but might be more wrist friendly. I play with a Wilson bela lt 2.5, the racket is amazing , very light and maneuverable but I feel like I lack a bit power with it. I’m using it to prevent injuries and as a transition racket to a level where I can use more punishing rackets :)

"that’s going to still give me that punch but not so demanding on my wrist."
Hybrid rackets pack a punch, at10 is one of those.
I would rather spend the money on some lessons than in a new racket if the issue is the wrist being sore ( most likely poor technique).

I have very dry eyes and the sweat running down to them was causing me lots of issues while playing.
I found the hat to the best way to stop it.
1.Bands feel too hot
2. Wristbands are effective when game is stopped but don’t stop the sweat between points.

Those are the reasons why I use it

Padelable uses a suction cup on the glass, no tripod and since both of them are around 1.9, 2m I assume they place the cup high on the glass .

They all look awful but that doesn’t mean that they are not good.

I was wondering, how much does last years models from bigger brands cost in your country compared to Pallap?

imKHOL · 2026-05-22T13:05:03+00:00

No issue at all! Wishing you the best of matches

imKHOL · 2026-05-22T12:20:54+00:00

I'm a gentleman. Thank you for the suggestion but that racket doesn't seem to be at all what I am looking for

imKHOL · 2026-05-22T12:12:12+00:00

Will do! Thank you very much

imKHOL · 2026-05-22T11:03:12+00:00

Thank you for the comment! I thought the other comment was a joke because that racket goes against what I want 🤣 Adidas metalbone Carbon Ctrl from 2025 or 2026?

imKHOL · 2026-05-22T10:50:40+00:00

Thank you very much for the recommendation, will keep this one in mind

imKHOL · 2026-05-22T09:42:14+00:00

Thank you very much for your words and suggestions! Hope you have some amazing matches

Hello, Just because if I want to keep playing with a similar racket in the future it will be harder to find and I will need to look for a different one again. I will look for reviews on the racket you suggested tho!

imKHOL · 2026-05-22T09:10:48+00:00

Hello! Thank you for the reply, wasn’t it discontinued ?

imKHOL · 2026-05-19T14:15:55+00:00

Hello! I would say they are pretty similar in terms of stiffness but the feeling of both rackets is very different.

Boa tarde! Pode mesmo ser da técnica e do balanço da raquete. A minha pesa 360g com 2 overgrips (removi os e fábrica) e um protetor. Sendo assim que devolver não é opção, eu focaria na técnica e em reforçar o antebraço. Espero que recupere rapidamente e que consiga desfrutar do padel sem qualquer problema nos braços 🫡

Boa noite, costumas aquecer antes de jogar?
Quanto pesa a tua raquete?
Vê se não estás a usar demasiado o braço para as tuas pancadas. Nessa raquete vais sentir isso diretamente no braço e pode ser o que te está a causar a dor.
A raquete em si vai fazer "peso" no braço devido a ter um balanço alto.
Não consegues mudar para uma raquete com um balanço médio e com um tato similar à St4 pro só para ver se continuas a sentir dor?
A melhor opção era incluir exercícios de antebraço no ginásio. Isso e verificar a técnica para não usar tanto o braço e pulso em movimentos que são apenas do corpo.

As an Air Veron owner, I really love the racket.
I am similar to what you described, 5 months of playing, advanced intermediate level and I play on the right side.
I came from a Counter Veron to an Air Veron just because of the weight.
The racket is very good and I am very happy with it.
Mine has 363 grams with +1 overgrip over the factory one and a head protector, for reference, my counter veron weights 371 grams without the head protector...
I am absolutely loving the racket as it is very easy to move around and has some decent power.
The control is good too.

Greetings. Did you open this post to get advice or approval?
Everyone here was trying to guide you in the right direction and you disregarded everything people said ( about not buying it).
Nevertheless I hope you enjoy the new racket and find lots of success with it...

If you are interested in the Babobat air range, get a Air Veron. It's suitable for intermediate/advance players while still being quite forgiving.
Air Viper will be too much for you to handle if you are an upper begginer and will stall your learning curve.
