Rackets

Which Joma racket is right for you?

Joma's 2026 rackets come in four families. Hyper, Blast and Valkiria each come in a Hard (HRD) version, weighted towards the head for power, and a Soft (SFT) version for more control and feel. The Iconic models use 3K carbon, and the Master is the entry-level racket.

Shoes and bags

What else does Joma make?

Shoes

Joma says the Slam has been its main padel shoe for more than a decade. It now comes in two versions: the Slam for cushioning and quick movement, and the Slam Classic, with a herringbone sole, for stability and control. The Open is a cheaper option, and Juanlu Esbrí moved to the new Ultralight in 2026.

Bags

We couldn't find Joma padel balls at our partner shops or on Joma's UK site.

Joma's padel bags include a racket bag in Vero Virseda's colours and a backpack with a shoe bag. Our partner shops don't stock Joma bags, so we link to Joma's UK site.
