Adidas Drive Light 3.4

The Drive light 3.4 is designed for beginner players looking for a light, comfortable racket with excellent control. Thanks to its reduced weight and advanced technologies, it allows agile handling, facilitating progression in padel. The head shape is round and the balance is control, both of which keep the sweet spot wide and the weight closer to the handle, making the swing easier to bring through and more forgiving of a mis-hit than a power-balanced or diamond-shaped racket. The core is a soft EVA and the frame is fibreglass with a smooth, non-textured face, a combination that gives a gentler response with less transmitted pace than a hard core over a carbon frame, and less spin-generating grip than a rough face would. Level is stated as initiation and the frame is made in Asia. This is a soft, forgiving, entry-level configuration aimed at a player just starting out, not one suited to someone looking for pace, spin or a stiffer advanced-level feel.
