Buy the Indiga CTR if you're learning, otherwise step up to the Ionic Light once your technique has settled.
Two Bullpadel rackets at very different stages of the journey. The Indiga CTR sits at £60-80 with a round head, low balance, soft EVA core and a fibreglass face. That combination is what I always recommend for someone who's had three or four sessions and decided padel is sticking. Forgiving sweet spot, comfortable on the arm, no surprises.
The Ionic Light is roughly double the price and aimed at players who already know what they want. Lighter overall, more refined feel, and the kind of frame that rewards better swing mechanics rather than dragging you through them.
