Our scores, updated 7 July 2026 · How we score
Score by score
How we score →The green bar wins the round. The Gea takes 2 of the six, the 130 takes sweet spot and comfort and value, and handling is level.
Feel is read from the core and the face until hardness is measured.
What is different
Face, weight and price change between them; the rest is the same. Pick one to look closer.
Carbon against fibreglass: the Gea's carbon is stiffer and more precise, the 130's fibreglass is softer, gives the ball more pop at low speed and forgives more.
Edge: the Gea, for precision
* The feel starts from the core's rated hardness (estimated from the core material where there is no rating), then the face: carbon 12K and up is firmer, fibreglass softer.
The Gea is about 350 g lighter: quicker to the ball at the net. The 130 puts a little more weight behind a smash.
Edge: the Gea, for quick hands
The balance point is not listed for both.
No edge either way
* Drawn to scale: a 455 mm racket in its shape's outline (traced from a real racket of that shape), with the balance point the shops list marked on it. Real rackets vary by a few millimetres.
Only the Gea is at PadelProShop right now, at €126.
