Buy the Bullpadel Indiga CTR if you're learning, otherwise the Babolat Technical Viper once you're swinging with intent.
These two solve different problems — the Indiga is an entry-level racket and the Viper is for someone leaving that stage behind. The Bullpadel Indiga CTR at £60-80 has the classic beginner setup: round shape, low balance, soft EVA core and a fibreglass surface. The 360-375g weight is on the higher side for beginners, but the round shape gives you a forgiving sweet spot to learn against.
The Babolat Technical Viper at £140 brings a diamond shape, medium-high balance, Black EVA core and a carbon fibre face — designed for intermediate players who want more attacking weapons.
Watch out for these traps:
Buy for the player you are now, not the player you want to be in twelve months. You can always upgrade later.
