The film

See it in action

A dream of being a part of the fun, and it all started at home.

How it works

A different racquet every time they play

Each face of the racquet has a different story for your child to imagine and get creative with. 

With the four included markers, your little one can colour in both faces from the comfort of your own home, take their creation to the court, then wipe off with a damp cloth. 

Ready to go again? The racquet's ready to be re-imagined with new colouring before hitting the court.

The racquet

Built for small hands, made to be drawn on

Make it theirs

Both faces, each with a different theme, take the Crayola Colour Wipeoff markers, so no two racquets on the court end up the same.

Then play with it

A real junior padel racquet, not a toy. Made to our same high standards as our adults racquets, plus full carbon for genuine performance on the court.

Wipe it clean

A damp cloth takes it back to blank, ready for a completely different design to imagine next time.

The story

Why we made it

We only make products where there is a genuine difference to make. British padel does not have a participation problem: over a million people play now, against roughly fifteen thousand in 2019. The problem is that children start playing padel later than they do in Spain. So we set out to make a racquet a child would actually want to pick up, with two goals: one, to get more children active, and two, to raise the standard of the next generation, ready to take on the best in the world. 

The trouble is that a junior racquet is almost always an adult one made smaller, often in adult colours, with nothing in it that belongs to the child holding it. A pretty picture on the racquet would not have fixed that, because it is still somebody else's picture.

So, in partnership with Crayola, we made a playing surface a child can colour in themselves. Not decorated for them, decorated by them. A different theme on each face, four wipe-off markers in the box, and a damp cloth is all it takes to start again. It means padel can start at home, with colouring, something children already know and love, rather than at the club. And that usually means the whole family ends up on court. 

And underneath the playful surface is a serious racquet, made to our usual high standards, in full carbon, with no fibreglass. Made to be fun, and to perform.
