Dunlop Fx Start

“The FX Start Gun Metal is Dunlop's documented starter: a confirmed 360 g even-balanced EVA build scoring a gentle 68/66 split with civil terms (comfort 71, tolerance 71) and prompt handling (72). Value 82 is strong. Against the unbadged FX Start listing, this gunmetal edition carries the spec sheet and the dealer network, which settles the twin question in its favour at equal money. New players get Dunlop's quiet competence in starter form: kind, punctual, honestly priced. A thoroughly sensible first racket.”

Wilson Blade Ls V3 Padel 2

“The Blade LS V3 Padel 2 is Wilson's light-spec club frame: a Soft EVA core under a fibreglass face scoring power 78 against control 70, with fair terms (comfort 68, tolerance 67) and prompt handling (71). Weight documentation is incomplete, so check the specimen. Value 72 carries the usual Wilson premium. The card describes a pleasant, attack-leaning frame for improving players drawn to the Blade name in its most accessible form. The Spanish mid-market matches these numbers for less; the badge and the build quality are what the difference buys. Demo and decide which matters.”
