About

Palawizard is an independent comparison tool for padel rackets. Instead of marketing copy, it ranks rackets by their measured characteristics (swingweight, balance, twistweight, stiffness, shape and foam) against a reference racket you choose, and shows you exactly why each one scores the way it does. It grew out of a search for rackets close to one specific control racket, and is built to stay a general, reusable reference. See the Method for how the score works, and Sources for where the data comes from.

Measurements are third-party lab and social readings retained with their provenance, and per-sample and per-method variance is real. The scores are a heuristic comparison tool, not an authoritative ranking, and are not affiliated with or endorsed by any manufacturer.

Palawizard is cookieless. There are no accounts, no advertising, and no cross-site tracking.

• Your preferences stay in your browser's localStorage only: the selected reference, language, theme and density. No personal data, and nothing leaves your device.
• Analytics. Any analytics we run use Umami, a self-hosted, cookieless analytics tool: aggregate page views only, with no cookies, no personal data and no cross-site profiles, just enough to see which comparisons are useful. The data stays on our own server and is never sold or shared.
• Feedback form. If you open the optional feedback form it is provided by Tally (an EU/GDPR-compliant processor) and is loaded only when you open it, so the rest of the site stays free of third parties. It collects what you type plus an optional contact email, and whatever Tally logs to deliver it (such as your IP). Please don't include anything you'd rather not share.
• Exports. The CSV and PNG you can download carry third-party measurements and product photos, so treat them accordingly.
