How we rank
We start from each racket's PadelGuru score (our review, or the mean of its lab scores until there is a review) and blend in player reviews: the more reviews a racket has, the more they weigh. Only rackets from the two newest seasons on sale (2026 – 2027) make the list. The ranking updates daily with the prices.
For value, the score is multiplied by the square root of the ranking's median price over the racket's price: a cheap racket climbs, but never past a much better one.
