Adidas RX Series Light Padel Racket vs Bullpadel Indiga CTR Padel Racket — Padel Rackets Comparison UK 2026

A pure entry-level showdown — and the prices have converged to the point of irrelevance. The Indiga CTR at £70 is a textbook beginner frame: round shape, low balance, soft EVA core and fibreglass surface, all of which translate to a huge sweet spot and gentle feedback. The cons are predictable, limited power and a bit chunky at 360-375g.

The RX Series Light at £66 is the lighter, more versatile option, marketed all-levels and likely to last longer as your game develops — and it's now actually the marginally cheaper of the two.

Where I'd send people: - Indiga CTR if you've never picked up a padel racket before. Round and low-balance is the right starting point. Pure forgiveness. - RX Series Light if you're confident you'll stick with the sport, you've already had a few sessions, and you want a frame you won't outgrow in three months.

The old maths — pay extra for the Adidas if you'll grow into it — is dead: the RX Light no longer costs extra at all. For a true first racket the Indiga is still the textbook choice on feel, but if you're already half-decent, the Adidas scales with you and saves you a few quid doing it.
