Best Hybrid Padel Racket

What type of racket is a hybrid racket?

As you have just been able to read, a hybrid racket falls between the teardrop-shaped rackets and the diamomd rackets. The shape is different, these rackets often have a hexagonal shape. It is difficult to say where exactly the sweet spot is on this racket. Because the rackets are very new, there is still a lot of difference between the manufacturers. Every racket is different so make sure you do your research.

Why do you choose a hybrid padel racket?

You can search for a hybrid padel racket if you are an advanced player who is looking for a combination between power and precision. Because it is a combination between a teardrop-shaped and the diamond rackets, you have both aspects in a racket. So you do not sacrifice as much precision and comfort as when you play with a diamond racket, but you do have the speed.

Who are the hybrid rackets suitable for?

The hybrid rackets are suitable for advanced/intensive intermediate players. Because the sweet spot is somewhat smaller than that on the teardrop-shaped rackets, I will not recommend you as a beginner or intensive beginner to play with these rackets. They are intended for advanced players who are looking for comfort and power in a racket. The rackets vary in price, expect to be able to buy a hybrid racket from €100.

Conclusion

The advanced player looking for speed and comfort can look for a hybrid racket. At the moment it is still so new that we cannot tell you a lot about which class this racket falls into. The rackets can be very pricey, as a beginner we recommend that you buy a somewhat cheaper racket. We are also enthusiastic about hybrid rackets and we will certainly give them a good chance!
