Knowledge / FAQ

Before you build.

Shape, weight, balance, and materials: the choices that change how a racket plays.

01How does a consultation build work?

Tell us your level and preferred shape (round, teardrop, or diamond). We help choose face material, frame, and foam with you, confirm a quote, then build one made-to-order racket. You can start on WhatsApp or through the signup form, whichever is easier.

02How much does a custom racket cost?

Fiberglass builds typically run PKR 28,000–40,000. Carbon builds typically run PKR 40,000–70,000, depending on carbon grade, foam, finish, and personalization. Your consultation locks a clear quote before we start.

03How does payment work?

70% upfront when you confirm the order, and 30% after we confirm the finished build with you by video, before dispatch.

04How long does a build take?

Delivery is 30 days after you confirm the order. We’ll share the exact schedule with your quote.

We deliver across Pakistan’s major cities, including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar, Quetta, Hyderabad, Gujranwala, Sialkot, Bahawalpur, Sargodha, Sukkur. Message us on WhatsApp or book a consultation and we’ll confirm delivery or handoff for your city.

06Can I start on WhatsApp?

Yes. That’s often the fastest path. Send your level and preferred shape, and we’ll guide the rest. If WhatsApp isn’t handy, use the consultation form on the website and we’ll follow up by email.

07Which racket shape should I choose?

Shape sets where the sweet spot sits and how forgiving the face feels. Round profiles keep a large, centered sweet spot, best for control and newer players. Teardrop (hybrid) lifts the sweet spot slightly for a mix of power and precision. Diamond pushes the sweet spot high for aggressive smashes, but asks for cleaner contact. At Racketscape those map to Pure Round, Hybrid Teardrop, and Attack Diamond. Read the full guide on our shape page.

08Does my level decide the racket?

Skill level is the first filter. Beginners usually want forgiveness: rounder heads, softer materials, easier handling. Intermediate players often move to hybrid shapes and firmer cores as technique settles. Advanced attackers lean into diamond silhouettes and stiffer carbon for explosive overheads. Play style still matters. A defensive specialist may stay control-oriented even at a high level.

09How heavy should my racket be?

Most adult rackets sit roughly between 340g and 390g. Lighter frames (about 340–365g) move faster and spare the arm, useful for beginners, doubles exchanges, and players managing wrist or elbow load. Mid weights (about 360–375g) balance punch and control. Heavier frames (about 370–390g) add stability and smash power, but need strength and clean technique to stay comfortable over long sessions.

10What is racket balance?

Balance is where mass sits along the frame. Head-light (low) balance feels agile and precise, strong for defense and net speed. Head-heavy (high) balance loads the tip for more smash momentum, with less maneuverability. Even / mid balance sits between those poles for all-court play. Shape and balance often travel together: round tends low, diamond tends high, teardrop tends mid.

11Fiberglass or carbon, and which foam?

Fiberglass faces are more flexible and forgiving, a softer touch that helps while you build consistency. Carbon faces are stiffer and more durable, transferring energy cleanly for power and precision once your contact is reliable. Soft EVA / foam cores absorb vibration and feel plush; medium EVA is the everyday balance of pop and control; harder EVA is firmer and more explosive on clean hits, with more feedback to the arm. Read our full fiberglass vs carbon guide for K-ratings and how face and foam work together.

12Is there a single best padel racket?

No. The best racket is the one that matches your level, physique, and how you actually play, not a ranking or a pro’s setup. What suits a power specialist may frustrate a control player. A short consultation or our shape guide is what locks the choice in.

13How does delivery work in Pakistan?
