Thanks I try

why you being mean, I don't suck at padel

Awesome, like and enjoy it. Vamos 🎾

Perfect 🤩

From a material science as opposed to Padel perspective, the main reason for using carbon fibre in a composite is to exploit its three main properties: 1. High strength to weight ratio or Specific Strength; 2. Stiffness or Youngs Modulus; and 3. Bidirectional properties - ability to orientate the weave to control strength and stiffness in different directions or planes. This flexibility makes objectively comparing carbon composites very, very difficult indeed.

😭😭

So true😂 I'm french intermediate+ level, I succeed regularly when practicing on my own, but never shot 1 in a game, even recreational, and god knows I'm playful! At intermediate level, there's always a better option. I'm way luckier with fake smash, with rulo, or even with the tontona !!!!

Venga!!

You’re not wrong.

Gonzalo! 😂 I'm warning you not to share all the secrets from padel with the TH-cam community. 🤷🏾‍♂️

What shit tip, I would say practice it a lot in training, and if you feel ready do try it

Finally a technical explanation to clean up some confusion, also good job keeping it simple! Easy to follow and comprehend.

Great video. Merry Christmas guys

Great video! Glad my understanding matches as I have researched this online for ages, there are so many conflicting views as you say.

Amazing video and definitely debunks a lot of rumours about hardness and quality! I'll ignorantly ask, why is carbon fibre needed at all? Take a situation where the other layers / materials provide good feedback, what is the true additional benefit of having an xK layer on top?

Kareeeeem!!!

Me encantan sus videos, tio, VAMO!!

Thanks for video! The problem with facts and what manufacturer say is that they sometimes or maybe even often times label or call things how they want themselves because of marketing reasons. One thing also is the foam which padel manufacturer call all kinds of names but most of them probably use the same types of foams in the end anyway.This makes it really difficult for customers to have the real facts solely from manufacturers, imo. So to actually know it's better to do your own research about materials and such.

Go to run, paddle is not even a sport.

Could anyone explain why?

Finally somebody says this correctly. I have telling this to my customers million times and It Hans been Long road 😅

I appreciate what you were trying to do in the video, but it really didn’t clarify anything at all. Such technical videos would greatly benefit from graphics, rather than just two guys sitting and talking. Also good on you in recommending Ewan’s channel, I do love his content.

I think its very misleading that brands can say their rackets are "full carbon", when in reality its carbon + X layers of fiberglass. It also hides quality differences between different brands, where one brand can use more carbon than the other, but get away with it.

Padel🤝 Rocket science Padel Drivers

Open to the criticism here,as by simplifying I’ve made it unclear. The technical capabilities and carbon definition explained by Gonzalo is correct, and there are many other variables, but he has 10 minutes to explain 😉 The reference to approx mm is a very simple way for a player to distinguish what they are using, and approx stiffness/flex. As Gonzalo explains, a rackets resulting output is a combination of factors, so it’s hard to give a standard answer. See you on court soon Gonzalo 😅

but if we have same rubber same layer,, who whill be harder? 3k or 18k? i will say 3k.. i am right?

Damnn aerospace engineer for rolls royce, that's so cool :D

Definitely need to see a Gonzalo/Carlos vs Euan/Max grudge match on TH-cam after this!!!

Lool... Or don't play padel, maybe it's a better tip

Thank you for useful advice. Now I hit a lot of volley to the body every game and also train not only padel skills but martial arts with my opponents. 2 workouts are better than one.

Maybe the more K the more durability ?

No no no. The harder the Padel does not mean the more powerful the stroke. Of course the number 12 or 18 does not mean millimetres between the weave. That would be a few strands. Not a weave. Here's the thing... imho. The harder the Padel the lower the speed off the surface. Why? Because although the ball will technically flatten more against the surface ... the Padel won't. Which means more control. The softer the surface of the padel the faster the ball will fly off the surface. Ironic isn't it. However... padel tech is currently rubbish. We are in the wood laminate era compared to tennis racquets of the 70s. It's really all down to the player and timing. I great player would probably beat me with a £20 padel even if I have the best one on the market. The bottom line: just make sure you have a padel with a very sticky surface.

You work in 'horserace'???

Finally someone put this issue to bed, I’ve wasted so much time reading misinformed views on this.

Great video and lovely message. Congrats on reaching 20k subscribers.... But, how do you play this shot from the forehand side of the court with a back hand?

Thank you. I lost my mind when I heard what this guy said on EverythingPadel.

omg the K = 1000 makes so much sense that i never understood before

SUBSCRIBED. I like your content. Gracias.

Super Good video.

the real questions is, all other things being the same… what difference does the K make. same manufacturing, number of layers, etc…

Thanks for the clarification, much appreciated! ps. I have both the Vertex 03 CTR and the Hack 03 CTR. There is absolutely no question about it; the Hack is way harder than the Vertex.

Thanks for the technical explanation! Most of the times the brands try to introduce technical terminology as sales arguments and create confusion to the users. Great video!

Intermediate tip indeed 🤭

jajaja Indeed!!

muy interesante!! gracias por la info, es un lio a la hora de comprar una pala. Buena idea meter contenido de este tipo también. Otro día podríais hablar de trucos para el grip por ejemplo, yo me he comprado magnesio liquido para que no resbale tanto... se lo vi a un chico. Un saludo y animo!

got me

I wish brands would use a meassurement of stiffness vs sweet spot on each racket, they must have it in mind when creating the specific layers what the end goal is, but to us users we only have the superficial K number to base it on, so no wonder misinformation starts spreading when the Carbon thread count becomes part of a rackets name...

Padel Drive brought in an aerospace engineer to style on everythingpadel. Beef in the making? :D Just joking! From where I play the majority thinks higher K means harder racket, but then there we're people saying that it was the other way around, that the lower the K count the harder the racket. And now we learn that it's nothing but a sales pitch without any actual information about the racket, apart from it being pure carbon.

Excellent video, although if both rackets had everything the same and only the outer layer of carbon was different: 12k is harder than 18k because the carbon is more braided and that gives it more rigidity.

lo mataste jaja - a great informative video, even if it means you will never be sponsored by Bullpadel UK now 😂
