Graphite: Maximum lightness, increased maneuverability, precise feel.
Fiberglass: More flexible, provides a soft feel, suitable for technical finesse.
Carbon: Very rigid, ideal for maximum power and optimal precision.

To start, opt for a medium-weight racket (between 210 and 230 grams), made of composite or fiberglass, with a thickness of about 13 to 16 mm for an optimal balance between power, control, and comfort.
The price of a racket strongly depends on the material used (graphite, carbon, composite), the embedded technologies (textured surface, "honeycomb" core, vibration absorption), as well as the precision of the finishes and playing comfort. High-end rackets notably offer better stability, precision, and longevity.
- Thick paddles (14 to 16 mm): offer better control, a soft touch ideal for "dinks" and volleys.
- Thin paddles (11 to 13 mm): provide more power, responsiveness, and speed, suitable for aggressive and offensive players.
Clean the surface after each session with a soft, damp cloth. Always store it in a dedicated cover to avoid scratches and impacts. Regularly replace the grip to maintain optimal comfort.
