Padel racket deals

Black Friday falls on Friday 27 November, Cyber Monday on Monday 30 November. Many shops start their sales a week early. Whether a racket is genuinely cheaper depends on the model and the shop. This page shows it at a glance: every price is set against the same shop's lowest price over the previous 30 days.

Ignore the crossed-out price and look at what the racket actually cost over the last few weeks. Fake discounts usually come in three forms: the ‘was’ price is an RRP nobody charged, the shop raised the price just before the sale, or the same price was already on offer a few weeks ago. In the EU, a shop announcing a reduction has to quote its lowest price of the previous 30 days as the old price. That rule doesn't apply in the UK, but every shop on this page is in the EU. Each racket page shows the price history, so you can check for yourself.

Pick your racket before the sales start, for example with the coach, so you buy what suits your game rather than the biggest percentage. Check what it costs now, or follow this page, so you know on the day whether the price has really dropped. Add delivery costs: Spanish shops are often cheaper but can take a few days, and from the UK you may pay import charges. And look at last year's model: once the new collection is out, the previous one often drops a lot in price.

We look at the shop where the racket is cheapest today. A shop that cuts its price but is still more expensive than another shop doesn't save you anything. And a discount on an RRP, or on a price the shop had just raised, isn't a genuine drop.

Sometimes. If you buy through our link, some shops pay us a small commission. That doesn't change the list: the order is the size of the price drop and nothing else, and shops that pay us nothing are listed just the same.

Every morning, when we collect the new prices and recalculate the drops. A racket leaves the list as soon as its price goes back up, it sells out or the drop is more than 30 days old.
