Our shop has a racket advicer, says a lot of dealers, but i real life its just a filter to show you racket option!! What you just did her is the guide new players need - great job 👍

Menuda masterclass!! lo estaba esperando! muchas gracias!! tmb enhorabuena con el inglés, muy pro :) Yo como estoy aprendiendo sigo con la que tenia de fibra de hace años pero cuando consiga un buen descuento me miraré el video unas cuantas veces para intentar acertar con la elección :) Aunq ahora que se cual es la tuya probablemente me la pille en tu honor como profesor a distancia q eres :) Mañana tengo clase!! 🙌

[@padeldriver]

Muchas gracias Juan 🥰 dale duro y cualquier duda me dices 🙌

[@juans.6726]

@@padeldriver Hola Gonzalo. Perdona una pregunta, afecta en algo elección de la pala siendo zurdo? He leído por ahi la forma del grip o algo así? Ya que tu pala no la encuentro en España, he visto esta que me ha gustado el color Wilson Blade Pro V2 negra y dorada, para jugar con estilo por lo menos 😅 Muchas gracias.

[@padeldriver]

@@juans.6726 dudo que afecte. Al final el grip es simetrico! Hablame si quieres por ig y hablamos de la pala!

[@juans.6726]

@@padeldriver Vale gracias Gonzalo, ya te he escrito. Un saludo

[@tharrison888]

Really thorough explanation. Great video!

[@padeldriver]

Thanks a lot 💙 very glad you liked it 🙌

[@luketanner4347]

Great video! Very useful for understanding about rackets as a beginner

[@padeldriver]

Glad it was helpful! 💙

[@01mozafara]

great video, thanks Gonzalo!

[@padeldriver]

Thanks Os 💙

[@calvinvanvliet9938]

Thanks for the video, this helps a lot! I've played tennis for 5 years with lessons, stopped for 2 and am now getting into padel so I kinda know what I want and knowing these specs helps a ton with that. I do have one question; does the surface matter a lot? Smooth or with sand grain? I play with a lot of spin and love throwing the odd curveball so I'd imagine it matters for that.

[@padeldriver]

Thanks for your comment! In my opinion it does not matter much, what truly matters is the holes pattern

[@nicolag20]

Beautiful video as always ❤

[@padeldriver]

Thanks a lot 💙💙💙

Thanks a lot Meriam 🙌💙

[@andreweinhorn]

Sweet video, thanks man, suuuuuper helpful!

[@padeldriver]

@@andreweinhorn glad it was helpful 🥰

[@nicholasrv8834]

Great video, helpful, but one aspect I am having trouble getting information about is the finish on the racket. Sanded or smooth? can you help with that? thank oyu

[@padeldriver]

I think the difference is small, sandy finish helps a bit but it wears off

[@jd54muw]

I’ve played tennis to a good standard for many years but relative newcomer to padel only having played for 6 months. I’d say I’m at low intermediate level. Would your racket Hook solid suit my level of play or is it really for advanced players?

[@padeldriver]

The Solid is very generous. It is an all rounder, the sweetspot is one of the biggest I have ever seen 🙌

[@basim313]

Thanks Gonzalo ... Always fun to watch your videos ... BTW, you need a hair cut 😅

[@padeldriver]

Thanks Basim 🙌 hahaha my friends say the same, although I quite like the "long" hair 😂

[@setarehm.6931]

Thanks for the helpful information.

[@padeldriver]

Glad it was helpful!🥰

[@zerocontentTV]

I am new to padel (playing 2 month, 3 times a week, so I am hooked haha). Do i need the protector? Because in this video there is none

[@padeldriver]

Helloo!! I have another video talking about that 🙌 My recommendation is that you get a protector yes!

[@sotirisbakas7925]

I've been playing for three months with adidas rx carbon. I foun a great offer for LeBrons technical viper 23. Should i go for it as second racket or too early for the transition? Thanks

[@padeldriver]

Thats a super technical racket! I wouldn’t recommend it, it is designed for a very specific type of player. Only go for it if you are semi pro and you play most of the year in a very hot country

[@idiopatisk0steatore]

Great video! I thought I would just copy you and buy the Hook Solid H20. I am a newbie++, played for 5-6 months a few times a week. Getting better, but not very technical with overhead shots yet. But it looks like you don't ship to Scandinavia =(

[@padeldriver]

Send me a dm on IG and we can see if there is something we can do

[@idiopatisk0steatore]

@@padeldriver Thank you for that! But I actually found it on a scetchy internet shop. Let's hope they actually send it to me :D

[@Turia050]

360 with or Without overgrip?

[@padeldriver]

Without! The weight that comes specified by the racket manufacturer 🙌

[@TorbLlorts]

liver means (higado), you ment lever, palanca

[@padeldriver]

Sorry for the pronunciation, you are right 🫣

[@aminalamin7014]

You forgot to talk about over grip weight and protector weight, your racket weight 360 after adding all the weights?

[@padeldriver]

Hellooo! Usually when we talk about weight we refer to the one specified by the manufacturer in the racket. So 360 with no overgrip and no protector 🙌

[@terracedtracks]

Lever force = pronate 😉

[@padeldriver]

I think that refers to the wrist right? Although it is true that actually that's the moment where you feel that "leaver force" effect hahahaha

[@blaisecarver]

great video, but please leave out from the video those mistakes what everybody makes so absolute ok, but it is time consuming to watch it.

[@crazydudetz]

Palanca... jaja

[@padeldriver]

😂😂😂 language barriers hahahaha
