Padel player since 2014. I test rackets weekly on courts in Sabadell and Barcelona, write reviews and maintain the PadelTestLab methodology.
The process is always the same: we collect each racket's official specifications (shape, balance, weight, frame and face materials, foam), cross-check them against shop listings and third-party reviews, and compute the power, control, ball exit, maneuverability and sweet spot scores with our own algorithm that weighs every characteristic by its real physical effect on court. Scores are never eyeballed: the same racket with the same data always produces the same score.
Scores are computed by a documented algorithm from specifications cross-checked against each brand's official data, then reviewed by the PadelTestLab editorial team. Prices from the shops we compare are verified automatically and every product page shows the date of the last check.
