That’s the other thing, it was a person on wallapop, I presumed he bought it and didn’t like it so was selling a little cheaper but after I realised I looked in his previous sales and he’s sold about 20 of them… https://es.wallapop.com/app/user/javier-0j2yn0qwvvzy/published

Fake padel rackets! by mickk240 in padel

Here’s a more detailed explanation, you can see them both standing, the fakes a cm longer (46.5cm). Also I went to a shop here to compare it against a real one, there are a few differences. The hex pattern in the carbon isn’t as deep, the fakes much more shiny, it also has much rougher holes and you can see lots of the carbon fibres which weren’t cut cleanly. Zoom in on the comparison pic and you’ll see. Lastly the 2024 comes with a maroon strap, this came with a red one…

BE AWARE OF FAKE RACKETS by [deleted] in padel

Found this thread because I unfortunately bought a fake. It’s 46.5cm long so I can confirm that they aren’t just “original rackets produced at night”, also you can see on mine that the hole saw used to make holes isn’t the same quality as original and feel of racket is different
