The Babolat Contact 2023 – Versatile padel racket is the perfect entry-point for beginner and casual players looking to enjoy the game with confidence and comfort. Designed with accessibility and ease-of-use in mind, the Contact 2023 offers a well-balanced combination of control, forgiveness, and lightweight maneuverability—making it an excellent option for players who are still developing their technique or returning to the sport.
One of the standout features of the Babolat Contact is its round head shape, which provides a larger sweet spot. This design increases shot tolerance, making it easier to connect cleanly with the ball—even if your contact point isn’t perfectly centered. This is especially helpful for players still mastering timing and positioning.
Weighing only 345 grams, the racket is lightweight and easy to handle, allowing for quick reactions at the net and smooth, controlled swings from the baseline. Its low weight also reduces arm fatigue and improves maneuverability, which is crucial for building confidence during extended play sessions or when learning the game’s basics.
Constructed with a soft EVA core, the Babolat Contact delivers a comfortable and forgiving feel on impact, helping absorb shock and reducing vibrations. This enhances player comfort and minimizes the risk of strain or injury, particularly for those who are still getting used to padel’s fast pace and short court dynamics.
The fiberglass surface adds a degree of flexibility and softness that’s ideal for developing players, offering just enough rebound without being too stiff or demanding. It provides consistent control and helps promote better shot placement while still generating respectable power for casual rallies or training drills.
This model features an easy-to-use design with a versatile performance profile—balanced between power and control—making it suitable for a wide variety of play styles. Whether you’re playing casually with friends or participating in beginner-level matches, the Babolat Contact 2023 ensures that every game is enjoyable and comfortable.
