New to padel? Welcome to America's next racket sport boom
If you have not played padel yet, you will soon. Played two-on-two inside a glass-walled court with solid, perforated rackets, padel blends tennis, squash and pure social fun — the walls keep rallies alive, so points are longer, faster and far more forgiving for newcomers than tennis ever was. It is already one of the most played sports in Spain and Latin America, and the United States has caught fire: more than one million Americans now play padel, on a court count that has exploded from fewer than 50 nationwide in 2020 to well over 1,000 today. Texas is one of the fastest-growing padel states in the country, with new clubs opening across Houston, Dallas and Austin — which means the court near you is coming, if it isn't here already.
Getting in early has one real advantage: you learn the game with the right equipment instead of a borrowed club racket. Racquet Pro carries one of the deepest padel racket selections in Texas, all current 2026 releases, so your first frame — or your first serious one — is the same generation the sport's best players are using.
How to choose your first padel racket
Three things decide how a padel racket plays. Shape: round rackets are the most forgiving and control-friendly — the right first racket for almost everyone; teardrop frames balance power and precision for improving players; diamond frames like the Adidas Metalbone PRO EDT 26 put maximum weight behind the smash but demand clean technique. Balance: lower balance means faster handling and more control; head-heavy means more attacking power. Feel: softer builds add comfort and margin; stiff carbon faces reward fast, committed swings. Unsure? Start round and soft — the Nox X Hero 2026 and Oxdog Pure Court are the frames we hand to new players — and every product page states exactly who each racket suits.

Why players buy from Racquet Pro
- Two sports, full depth. We are not a tennis shop with a paddle shelf. Pickleball and padel are the whole business, so the range is deep and the advice is real.
- Current-season stock only. JOOLA Pro V, the 2026 Adidas and Bullpadel lines, Oxdog's newest Ultimate series — new releases arrive as they launch, not a season late.
- Honest matching. A $300 pro paddle in the wrong hands loses matches. Tell us your level and game, and we will tell you what to buy — including when the cheaper option is the better one.
- Fast, tracked US shipping. Orders dispatch quickly from Webster, TX to all 50 states.
- Simple returns. If the fit isn't right, sending it back is easy.

Pickleball is America's racket sport phenomenon, with roughly 20 million players nationwide — and the paddle in your hand decides more points than any other piece of gear. Our paddle wall runs from forgiving 16mm widebody frames for new players to the JOOLA pickleball paddles used to win professional titles, including Ben Johns' Perseus platform in both Pro V and Pro IV generations. Every product page tells you plainly which core thickness, shape and level the paddle suits — so you buy the right one the first time.
Buy JOOLA Pickleball Paddles
When the best player in the sport chooses a brand, everyone else takes notice. Ben Johns plays JOOLA, and his Perseus paddle became the frame every other maker is measured against. The range around it — Hyperion, Scorpeus, Magnus and the Agassi and Graf signature models — has grown into the most complete lineup in pickleball, covering every level from first serious paddle to tour-grade weapon. Racquet Pro stocks the full current JOOLA pickleball paddle collection, 100% authentic and shipped fast from Webster, TX.
Every core JOOLA paddle comes in two generations and two thicknesses, so you can dial in exactly the feel you want. The Pro V series is the newest flagship — latest surfaces, latest construction. The Pro IV series is the previous flagship at a lower price, now with the widest choice of colors and thicknesses. Choose a 14mm core for a firmer, faster, poppier response, or a 16mm core for a bigger sweet spot and softer, more controlled hands at the kitchen line. Not sure? Most players should start at 16mm.
Match the shape to your game: elongated Hyperion paddles for reach and power, hybrid Perseus and Scorpeus paddles for all-court speed, and the widebody Magnus for the most forgiving sweet spot in the range. Every JOOLA pickleball paddle we sell is USAP approved for sanctioned tournament play, so you can take it from the club court to competition without a second thought.

Frequently asked questions
What is padel, exactly?
Padel is a doubles racket sport played on an enclosed court about a third the size of a tennis court, with glass walls that are part of play — like squash — and underhand serves. Rallies are long, the learning curve is gentle, and most people are enjoying real points within their first hour. It is the fastest-growing racket sport in the world, and now one of the fastest-growing in the US.
Is padel the same as pickleball?
No — they are different sports with different equipment. Padel uses a thicker, foam-cored, perforated racket and a pressurized ball on a walled court. Pickleball uses a flat solid paddle and a plastic ball on an open court. Plenty of players love both, which is exactly why we stock both.
What gear do I need to start playing padel?
A padel racket, padel balls, and court shoes with good lateral grip. That's it. A round-shaped racket, a can of padel balls and you are on court for your first session.
What is the best pickleball paddle for a beginner?
A 16mm core in a widebody or hybrid shape — the thicker core softens contact and the wider face enlarges the sweet spot. The JOOLA Magnus Pro IV 16mm is the strongest example in our range.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes. Every order ships tracked from Webster, TX to all 50 states, and Houston-area players can visit us at 803 E NASA Pkwy #151.
