Budget Padel Rackets

This is the place to find a budget padel racket: our cheap padel rackets in Australia are all priced under $250, so you can get on court without overspending. Each one is chosen to give new and social players real value.

What you get at this price

In this price range you will mostly find forgiving rackets with a comfortable feel and an easy-to-use sweet spot, which makes learning the game more fun. You give up some of the stiffness and premium finishes of pro models, but most club and social players will not miss them. Models in this collection include the By VP Control 300 SP and Power 300 SP, the Lok Be Flow 2 and Be Hype 2, the Wilson Optix Lite V2, the Tecnifibre Wall Breaker 360, 365 and 375, the Head Coello Vibe and Extreme Team, the Dunlop FX Team 26 and Galactica Team 2025, the Osaka Vision Pro and the Siux Electra ST3 Pro, Zyron 3K and Evoque 3K.

Who a budget racket suits

Budget rackets are a smart choice for beginners, casual and social players, juniors and anyone who wants a spare racket in the bag. Playing several times a week and want more power? Compare them with our intermediate padel rackets.

How to choose a cheap padel racket

Start with the shape. A round padel racket gives the most control and a big sweet spot, a teardrop racket balances control and power, and a diamond racket suits attacking players. Still unsure? Try the Racket Finder or browse our beginner padel rackets.
