Our verdict

The Padelsmith #1 is a British boutique brand entire catalogue: one diamond-head power racket, hand-laminated in Andalucia over roughly 14 days from European 12K carbon and a carbon-Kevlar frame. The EVA Soft Black 28 core takes the edge off what would otherwise be a harsh full-carbon diamond, giving attacking players a manageable 350g power frame with a genuine handmade story behind it.

We loved
  • Diamond head and 12K carbon face give real attacking power for the weight class
  • EVA Soft Black 28 core keeps a full-carbon power frame from feeling harsh
  • Handmade in small batches with a distinctive origin story most catalogue rackets cannot offer
  • 60-day trial period lowers the risk of buying from an unfamiliar brand
Worth knowing
  • A brand-new brand (2026) with no track record - durability over seasons is unproven
  • Single-model range means no fallback if this specific shape does not suit your game
  • Premium price for an unproven newcomer versus established diamond power frames

A one-model British boutique, hand-laminated in Andalucía

This is the entire catalogue of a genuinely new British boutique brand: one diamond-head power racket, hand-laminated over roughly a fortnight from European carbon and a carbon-Kevlar frame. The Soft Black EVA core takes real edge off what would otherwise be a harsh full-carbon diamond, and a 60-day trial period meaningfully lowers the risk of buying from an unfamiliar name. Being brand new, durability over multiple seasons is genuinely unproven, and there's no fallback model if this specific shape doesn't suit your game — a premium price for a real newcomer.
