Hi all,

I have been playing since February but recently started playing at least 2 times a week, I feel like I have improved a lot since I started and friends have said I should be around 1-1.5 on Playtomic and I got up to 1.07 but lost my last three games so I have gone down rating and it’s frustrating as I feel like my games are better in terms of longer rallies etc and can tell I have improved since I started I have had a few coaching lessons and have some more the next few weeks.

I am currently using the Bullpadel vertex geo for around 3 weeks with 2 games played and a few coffee mornings which I love/really enjoy using and feel I play better with this racket

Can anyone give me some pointers on where I am going wrong as I can’t figure out why I can’t seem to get my games over the finish line

What are people’s views/opinions on the vertex 05 geo ?

I am looking to upgrade to the vertex 05 hybrid as I have heard good reviews about it in a couple of weeks but keep hearing good reviews about the vertex geo and I love the looks of it and the specs look very similar apart from it may be a little bit more aggressive so curious of what other people say

At the moment I would say I am more defensive and don’t smash as much but once I become a bit more confident I may play more aggressive etc so I want something I can grow with

Also how do people get use to a head heavy racket ?

What are people’s thoughts on hesacore grips ?

I know some people like them but some people dislike them, i have found it helps with my sweaty hands but not sure if I prefer it to normal round grip yet ?
