Best Padel Rackets for Tennis Elbow

If you’ve ever experienced tennis elbow, you’ll know how frustrating it can be. That sharp pain in your elbow can take the fun out of padel and even force you off the court. The good news? Choosing the right padel racket can make a huge difference.

In this article, we’ll cover:

  • What tennis elbow is
  • What to look for in an arm-friendly padel racket
  • Our top racket recommendations to help you play pain-free

What Is Tennis Elbow?

Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is an overuse injury that causes pain around the outside of the elbow. It often comes from repetitive motions, like hitting the ball with poor technique or using a racket that’s too stiff or heavy for your arm.


What Makes a Racket Tennis Elbow Friendly?

To reduce strain on your arm, look for padel rackets with the following features:

  1. Vibration Dampening Technology - Helps absorb the shock from ball impact, so less vibration travels up to your elbow.
  2. Soft or Medium Core - Rackets with EVA or polyethene cores offer more cushioning and reduce impact stress on your joints.
  3. Low to Medium Hardness - Avoid very hard rackets – they may offer power but transmit more shock.
  4. Lighter Weight - A lighter racket (around 350–365g) can reduce the load on your arm and allow for easier movement.
