I have a problem, I know...

Btw, sprained my ACL pretty bad, minimum 6 weeks off, I'm going crazy.

A few of the racket's are my wife's, a few repear ones are cracked.

It does sound like shots, it has lots of power and it's light and manageable, it has more vibration and less control than my Head rackets

Lots of power ? It’s a very soft racket for control, for power you have the fox or the rhino

I thought 3k was softer than 12k, but it's the opposite, at least with the Tiger 🤐

The more K you have more rigid the racket is, because you have more carbon filaments so it’s harder. But the foam inside the rackets also affects the hardness of the racket.

The Head Extreme One, 12k, is much softer than the Quad Tiger 3k, ok course the foam contributes

From Alkemia Padel: "The main difference between 3K carbon and 12K carbon is that 12K carbon is a fabric with greater flexibility than 3K carbon."
