If you've played fewer than 10 times, buy the Aura X. That's the honest answer.

Weights, shapes, cores and who each one suits, side by side in one table. No marketing adjectives.
See the comparisonThe range
Every racquet is full carbon over a soft EVA or foam core, on proven open moulds. Pick your rung, not a fantasy.
The light one. Low balance, kind to elbows, easy to swing all afternoon.
The default. Round, soft and forgiving while your technique catches up.
The step up. For when you stop framing shots and start finishing points.
The flagship. Everything the $400 racquets have except the logo.

Our promise, in writing
Most padel racquets fail one way: the face separates from the core. It's called delamination, and most brands hide it in the fine print. Our 12-month warranty names it, covers it, and covers core failure too. Photo plus order number and it's sorted.
Read the full warrantyManufacturing defects for 12 months from delivery, including face-to-core separation (delamination) and core failure. Send a photo and your order number and we replace the racquet. Normal wear, court rash and wall arguments are on you.
Orders over $150 ship free anywhere in Australia. Everything dispatches from the Gold Coast within one business day, and express is available at checkout if your first match won't wait.
30 days to change your mind, no interrogation. Keep the plastic on the grip and the racquet unused and we refund in full, including if you simply picked the wrong one. We'd rather you had the right racquet.
The maths
Most racquets under $500 come out of the same few factories, on the same open moulds, with very similar carbon. We use those factories. Then we skip the pro contracts, the distributors, the retail margin and the hype tax, and ship straight from the Gold Coast.
