  • Is It Normal to Struggle Switching from Fiberglass to Carbon Padel?

Hey fam, I've been in the game for about six months, getting regular lessons and all. Recently I made the jump from a Babolat Reflex to the Babolat Counter Veron. It's got that carbon vibe, and I thought, why not?

But, here's the thing - struggling big time. Grip's all over the place, especially on overheads, and my power game? Non-existent. Is this normal transitioning from fiberglass to carbon, or could there be a different glitch? Do I stick it out, or is there something I'm missing?

    padelfan If the racket's twisting in your grip, it's a grip issue that needs fixing. The challenges you're facing—a smaller sweet spot and a stiffer racket—typically improve with time as you adapt.

    padelfan I get the struggle. Switching to the Babolat Counter Veron is a bold move! Grip issue? Normal at first, but tweak it, and you'll get there. Power game lagging? Small sweet spot and stiffness might be the culprits. Stick with it, practice, and don't hesitate to adjust. We've all been there
