Buy the Indiga CTR for proper padel feel; pick the Rocket Ultra only if you want the absolute cheapest entry point.
Two budget rackets, two different philosophies. The Indiga CTR at £60-80 is a 360-375g round, low-balance, soft-EVA fibreglass frame - control-led, forgiving, aimed squarely at beginners. The Dunlop Rocket Ultra at £50 is the cheaper option, marketed across all skill levels but realistically a casual-play frame.
Where I land on this:
The Indiga's heaviness is real - 360-375g will feel laboured for smaller-framed players or anyone with existing wrist issues.
Dunlop's padel range has improved a lot but still trails Bullpadel for native padel feel. If you're going to play more than a handful of times, that matters more than the price difference.
Spend the extra £15-£30 unless you genuinely don't know whether you'll stick with the sport.
