The best padel racket set for most UK beginners is the Duo Pack Bullpadel Discover CTR: two round, low-balance rackets of approx 360 to 370 g, with protectors and overgrips, for £99.95 at Padel Nuestro. The value pick is the Duo Pack Bullpadel Game Control Black at £89.95. Buy a duo for two players and a tripack for three; for a set of four, buy two duos, because no approved UK retailer we checked sells a four-racket pack. None of these sets includes balls.

How to choose a padel racket set
A padel racket set is two or three matching rackets sold for one price, or one racket packed with a bag. Padel Nuestro lists 265 products in its UK packs section, a mix of racket and bag kits plus duo packs and tripacks with protectors and overgrips. If you only need one racket, our guide to the best padel rackets covers the full range.
Padel Market, the other approved UK retailer we checked, lists 23 packs, and none of them holds more than one racket. Its racket kits pair one racket with a bag, and its UK prices include import duties and taxes.
Choosing a padel racket set comes down to three questions. How many people will play: a duo suits two, a tripack suits three, and two duos suit four. What level are they: round, low-balance rackets suit new players, while teardrop and high-balance rackets suit improvers. Do you need a bag: only the single-racket kits include one.
No set in this guide includes balls. Padel Market sells a pack of 3 cans of Head Padel Pro Plus balls, 9 balls in all, for £13.99, which fills the gap for a first session.

1. Duo Pack Bullpadel Discover CTR, best for new players
The Duo Pack Bullpadel Discover CTR is our top padel racket set for two people starting out. Bullpadel gives the Discover CTR a round shape and a low balance, and Padel Nuestro says it is designed for new players. The pack holds two 2025 rackets, two protectors and two Shockout overgrips for £99.95.
Each Discover CTR weighs approx 360 to 370 g. The face is Polyglass fibreglass over a SoftEva rubber core, which keeps the feel soft, and the frame uses Bullpadel’s Carbontube carbon. The round head keeps the sweet spot in the middle of the face, so off-centre hits still tend to go back over the net.
What you get: 2 Bullpadel Discover CTR 2025 rackets, 2 protectors and 2 Shockout overgrips; round shape, low balance, approx 360 to 370 g.
Price and where to buy: £99.95 at Padel Nuestro (October 2026), in stock.
Who it is for: Couples, friends or a parent and teenager who are new to padel and want matching rackets.

The Duo Pack Bullpadel Game Control Black is the cheapest two-racket set in this guide at £89.95. The Game CTR is a round Bullpadel racket with a low balance, built for control. Padel Nuestro pitches it at intermediate players, but the round, low-balance build also suits beginners who want to keep the ball in play rather than chase winners.
Padel Nuestro’s duo page does not state a weight, but its tripack page gives 360 to 370 g for the same Game CTR racket. A low balance puts the weight near the handle, which makes the racket feel lighter in the hand and easier on the arm through a long session.
What you get: 2 Bullpadel Game CTR rackets, 2 protectors and 2 Shockout overgrips; round shape, low balance.
Price and where to buy: £89.95 at Padel Nuestro (October 2026), in stock.
Who it is for: Two beginners on a tight budget who still want a big-brand pair.

The Duo Pack Adidas Neuvortx Yellow is the pick for two players who already know the basics. Padel Nuestro lists the Neuvortx for intermediate and advanced players, and the pair costs £109.95 with a Shockout protector and overgrip included, which makes it the step up from the Bullpadel duos above.
The Adidas Neuvortx weighs 360 to 375 g with a medium balance, so it sits between control and power. Its EVA Soft Performance core keeps the feel soft, and the Spin Blade rough face adds grip on the ball for slice and topspin.
What you get: 2 Adidas Neuvortx rackets plus Shockout protector and overgrip; 360 to 375 g, medium balance, EVA Soft Performance core, Spin Blade rough face.
Price and where to buy: £109.95 at Padel Nuestro (October 2026), in stock.

The Duo Pack Head EVO Speed is the lightest pair in this guide with a listed weight, at 350 g per racket. Head gives the Evo Speed 2025 a teardrop shape and a low balance, and the pack costs £109.95 at Padel Nuestro, the same price as the Adidas Neuvortx duo.
The Head Evo Speed’s teardrop head moves the sweet spot slightly higher than a round racket, which adds a little power on volleys. The fibreglass hitting surface stays forgiving, Innegra fibre in the build adds strength, and the low balance keeps the racket quick at the net.
What you get: 2 Head Evo Speed 2025 rackets, 2 protection tapes and 1 Shockout overgrip; teardrop shape, 350 g, low balance.
Price and where to buy: £109.95 at Padel Nuestro (October 2026), in stock.
Who it is for: Players who find heavier rackets tiring and want a light, quick pair.

The Tripack Bullpadel Game Control Black puts three Game CTR rackets in one box for £139.95. It is the same round, low-balance control racket as the value duo above, so a family or a group of friends can all play with matching rackets from the first session.
Padel Nuestro lists each Bullpadel Game CTR in the tripack at 360 to 370 g, with a round shape and a low balance. Each racket comes with its own Shockout protector and overgrip set, so all three are ready to play out of the box.
No approved UK retailer we checked sells a four-racket padel set. For four matching rackets, buy two Duo Pack Bullpadel Game Control Black sets at £89.95 each, or this tripack plus one more racket.
What you get: 3 Bullpadel Game CTR rackets and 3 Shockout protector and overgrip sets; round shape, low balance, 360 to 370 g.
Price and where to buy: £139.95 at Padel Nuestro (October 2026), in stock.

The Tripack Head Concord is the three-racket set for players who want more punch. The Head Concord 2025 is an oversized teardrop with a high balance and a Power Foam core, aimed at intermediate players, and the tripack costs £194.95 at Padel Nuestro.
The Head Concord’s high balance puts more weight towards the head, so it hits harder on smashes but asks more of your arm. The oversized head and fibreglass surface keep it forgiving. A Duo Pack Head Concord is also listed at £129.95 at Padel Nuestro if only two of you play.
What you get: 3 Head Concord 2025 rackets and 3 Shockout protector and overgrip sets; oversized teardrop, high balance, Power Foam core, fibreglass surface.

The Pack Dunlop Duo Titan Pro White is the set for two experienced players. Dunlop builds the Titan Pro White 2024 with an oversize head and an adjustable medium balance, and Padel Nuestro describes it as a racket for advanced or professional players. The pair costs £129.95.
The Dunlop Titan Pro uses a Mega Flex Core between double-layer fibreglass faces, inside a graphite frame. The adjustable balance lets each player tune the racket towards control or power, which is useful when two players with different styles share the same model.
What you get: 2 Dunlop Titan Pro White 2024 rackets and 2 Shockout protector and overgrip sets; oversize, adjustable medium balance, Mega Flex Core, graphite frame.

Padel racket set buying guide
Shape and balance
Round, low-balance rackets such as the Bullpadel Discover CTR and Game CTR keep the sweet spot in the centre and forgive mistimed shots, which is why they suit new players. Teardrops like the Head Evo Speed add a little power, and high-balance rackets such as the Head Concord hit hardest but ask more of your arm.
Weight
Where the retailer lists a weight, the rackets in these sets range from 350 g, for the Head Evo Speed and Head Evo Extreme, to 360 to 375 g for the Adidas Neuvortx. Lighter rackets are easier to swing through a long session, while heavier ones feel steadier against fast balls. If a player tires quickly, choose the 350 g options.
Materials
Fibreglass faces, used on the Bullpadel Discover CTR, Head Evo Speed, Head Concord and Dunlop Titan Pro, feel softer and more forgiving than carbon. Soft cores, such as Bullpadel’s SoftEva and the Adidas EVA Soft Performance core, take the sting out of off-centre hits. Carbon frames like Bullpadel’s Carbontube add stiffness.
Budget
Duo packs in this guide run from £89.95 for the Bullpadel Game Control Black to £199.95 for the Head Speed Motion. Tripacks run from £139.95 to £194.95, and racket and bag kits start at £79.95. Padel Nuestro offers 30-day returns and UK delivery in 3 to 5 working days.
Building a padel racket set of 4
No approved UK retailer we checked in October 2026 sells a padel racket set of 4. The cleanest route is two duo packs of the same model, such as two Bullpadel Game Control Black duos at £89.95 each or two Head Concord duos at £129.95 each, which keeps all four rackets identical.
A tripack plus a single racket also works, for example the Tripack Bullpadel Game Control Black at £139.95 with one more Game CTR. Add balls separately: Padel Market’s 3-can pack of Head Padel Pro Plus balls costs £13.99.
Padel racket set FAQ
Are padel racket sets worth it, or should I buy two rackets separately?
For two players who want the same racket, a duo pack is the simpler buy. The Duo Pack Bullpadel Discover CTR gives two rackets, two protectors and two Shockout overgrips for £99.95 at Padel Nuestro, and the Duo Pack Bullpadel Game Control Black is £89.95. Buy separately only if the two players need different rackets, for example one beginner and one advanced player.
What comes in a padel racket set?
At Padel Nuestro, a duo pack or tripack holds two or three matching rackets plus protectors and Shockout overgrips. At Padel Market, racket packs pair one racket with a bag. None of the sets in this guide includes balls, so add a pack such as Padel Market’s 3 cans of Head Padel Pro Plus balls, 9 balls in all, for £13.99.
Is a padel racket set of 4 worth it for a family?
No approved UK retailer we checked in October 2026 sells a four-racket padel set. The best route for a family of four is two matching duo packs, such as two Duo Pack Bullpadel Game Control Black sets at £89.95 each, or the Tripack Bullpadel Game Control Black at £139.95 plus one more racket.
Are the rackets in a padel set as good as the ones sold on their own?
The duo packs and tripacks in this guide hold named retail models, such as the Bullpadel Discover CTR 2025, Head Concord 2025 and Dunlop Titan Pro White 2024, rather than set-only rackets. Check the model name and year in the listing to confirm exactly which racket you get.
Is a cheap padel racket set good enough for beginners?
Yes, if the rackets are round with a low balance. The Duo Pack Bullpadel Game Control Black at £89.95 is the cheapest pair in this guide and uses a round, low-balance control racket of 360 to 370 g. Padel Nuestro describes the Bullpadel Discover CTR, in a £99.95 duo pack, as designed for new players.
What shape padel racket should I buy?
Beginners should start with a round racket, which keeps the sweet spot in the centre of the face, such as the Bullpadel Discover CTR. Improvers can move to a teardrop like the Head Evo Speed for more power. Oversized, high-balance rackets such as the Head Concord suit intermediate players who want to hit harder.
What grip size do padel rackets come in?
Padel rackets are usually sold with one standard handle size rather than a choice of grip sizes, so players adjust the feel with overgrips. Every Padel Nuestro set in this guide includes overgrips: the Bullpadel duos come with two Shockout overgrips, while the Duo Pack Head EVO Speed includes one.
Which padel racket sets come with a bag?
The racket and bag kits are single-racket packs. The Pack Head Evo Extreme Padelbag Core Padel Ultimate White costs £79.95 at Padel Nuestro with a bag, grip gel and overgrip, and the Bullpadel K2 Power 2025 with a BPP-24015 Tour bag costs £80.99 at Padel Market. None of the duo packs or tripacks we checked includes a bag.
