If you are a tennis fan, having some new gear is nice as the weather changes. Here are all your tennis and padel essentials for the new season.
Don’t forget your balls! Avoid that awkward situation when you play a match and everyone looks at each other wondering who brought the balls. Always keep a spare can in your bag. When considering the right ball, court surface, attitude, and durability are factors.
Sunscreen is essential for summer tennis and padel outside. Go for waterproof sports formulas as they will last longer against sweat. SPF30 is ideal.
Hydration is always key for health, vitality, and performance. If you don’t drink enough during play you are setting yourself up for reduced performance and sore muscles. Some great sports bottles come in various sizes and feature premium technologies to keep your drink cool for up to 24 hours. Be smart and bring plenty of fluids to your game.

Don’t underestimate the benefits of a head and sweatband. They work and will save you from running off the court to wipe your face on a towel. Save that for halftime. It’s amazing how quickly you build up a sweat, so wear both head and wristbands.
Not only do they cover bad hair days, but they will keep the sun and sweat out of your eyes while playing in the summer months. It’s always good to keep a lightweight one in your bag in case the summer sun gets too hot and bright. Go for ones made of moisture-wicking material as they will absorb sweat and dry faster. If you don’t like hats, a visor is a great alternative.
You need somewhere to keep all your gear together. Specialized racket bags have all the pockets and sections you need for all your bits and pieces, not to mention your keys, phone, and wallet. It’s worth the investment, as any old bag will not fit your racket in.
You don’t want your racquet to fly out of your hands at a crucial point due to lack of grip. Overgrips can be categorized into two main categories: tacky and dry/absorbent. Ultimately, they are a matter of preference, so try a few and find the right one to suit you.
Let’s face it, if you’re not sweating, you’re not trying. Towels are a vital tool for keeping you and your equipment dry and comfortable on and off the court. Keep one handy to wipe your hands, and dry your grip.
Feet sweat a lot during play and can lead to a miserable feeling in your shoes if you don’t have the correct ones. Cushion, breathability, and construction are all things you need to look for when buying the right socks. They need to perform well to make your game comfortable. Another factor to consider is length. The choice is yours, but make sure they are long enough not to slip into your sneakers as you will get blisters.
There’s nothing worse than throwing a ball up into the air and missing because you’ve been blinded by the sun. While a visor or hat may help shield some of the rays, sunglasses are the best option for full sun days to shield the eyes, not to mention protect them from harmful UVA/UVB rays. Make sure they are a style that stays put and won’t slip off halfway through your serve!
Like every racket sport, it’s important to play with the right racket adapted to your level. This will prevent fatigue and injuries while improving your performance and enjoyment of the game.
If you are a casual player, you’ll need an easy-to-play racket that is light and offers enough control to put the ball in a good spot. A round-shaped padel racket will suit you.
For intermediate go for a versatile racket to face any situation. You should look for a good mix of power and accuracy. Teardrop-shaped padel rackets are good for this level of player.
If you are an advanced player, and depending on your style of game, look for a racket that is slightly heavier with either maximum power or great accuracy.
Professional players will suit the diamond-shaped padel over 375g.
