Padel Accessories /1 product

Properly selected padel accessories provide +20% to your technique and 100% to your comfort. In the Fun Padel sports store assortment, you will find over 15 types of accessories. Indeed, it can be difficult to distinguish must-have items (such as overgrips or protectors) from additional equipment. Therefore, we are happy to help you with your choice and explain the purpose of each product.

Most Popular Padel Accessories

For the most effective game, you need to take care of small auxiliary details. Here is a list of must-have items from our assortment:

1. Grips and Overgrips: Direct Contact with the Racket

A high-quality overgrip provides a secure grip, absorbs moisture, and prevents the hand from slipping. To maintain an ideal grip, we recommend changing the overgrip as soon as you feel a loss of tackiness. Professionals do this every 2–3 matches, choosing products from Adidas, Head, Nox, and Bullpadel.

Pro Tip: Pay attention to special anti-slip gels and sprays (Bullpadel Dry Grip, 4on TotalGrip Paste, and Spray). They instantly remove excess moisture and ensure maximum traction.

2. Shock Absorbers: Injury Prevention and Game Comfort

Special inserts absorb up to 60% of vibrations, which is the best prevention for wrist and elbow injuries. If you have a stiff racket (e.g., 12K or 18K carbon), we strongly recommend installing shock absorbers immediately to keep your joints safe.

3. Racket Frame Protection

If shock absorbers look after the player's health, then protectors look after the "health" of your racket. A protector costing 5–10€ can save a racket worth 200€. Classic protectors are durable, relatively thick strips made of silicone or hard plastic. Due to their thickness, they add 8–12 grams of weight to the "head" of the racket, making shots more powerful. We recommend them for beginners and aggressive-style players.

If your goal is to protect the racket from scratches, paint chips, and light friction, consider protective skins. Products such as the Head Antishock Skin are ultra-thin and almost invisible. They do not affect weight or balance but excellently preserve the aesthetic appearance of the equipment.

4. Wristbands and Headbands: Comfort in the Details

In padel, every rally requires maximum concentration, so distractions by small details can cost points. That is why professional players never step onto the court without quality sports textiles. A headband not only secures the hair but also reliably protects the eyes from sweat, which is especially critical during serves or net play. Wristbands intercept sweat, preventing it from reaching the palm and overgrip. Thanks to this, the grip remains dry and secure. Choose wide models from Head or Adidas for maximum moisture absorption.

Why Quality Matters: Advantages of Professional Components

Beginners often think that accessories are merely a matter of aesthetics. However, in padel, the quality of equipment directly affects your results.

Professional shock absorbers and ergonomic handle grips (such as Hesacore) are designed in laboratories to dampen vibrations. Using cheap substitutes does not provide the same level of protection, which over time can lead to tendon inflammation. By investing in a high-quality accessory today, you save on visits to a physiotherapist tomorrow.

How to Choose the Best Accessories: A Checklist from Fun Padel

To make your purchase as beneficial as possible, follow these three simple steps when choosing equipment:

1. Playing level and physical characteristics: We advise beginners to focus on protection (thick protectors and shock absorbers). For players with active perspiration — on adhesive sprays and wide wristbands.
2. Racket type: Stiff rackets require additional cushioning, while lightweight models require thin protective skins to avoid shifting the balance.
3. Climatic conditions: If you play on outdoor courts in Lisbon or Cascais, thermal bags and sun caps become the number one items on your list.
