Buy the Indiga CTR if you're a beginner watching budget, otherwise the Arrow Hit gives more room to develop.
The Arrow Hit at £120 is Adidas's accessible all-court racket. The Bullpadel Indiga CTR at £60-80 is a control-first beginner racket — round shape, low balance, soft EVA, fibreglass face, 360-375g.
What actually matters:
If you're brand new to padel and need a forgiving racket to build technique, the Indiga CTR is fit for purpose at £60-80. If you've played a season and want a racket that scales as you improve, spend the extra and grab the Arrow Hit. Don't overspend on a first racket — it's the cheapest part of the journey.
