How it plays
Built to forgive the shots you’re still learning.
A round head puts the sweet spot right in the middle of the face, and a soft EVA core takes the sting out of the ones that aren’t. At 355g, with the weight towards the handle, it’s quick to bring up at the net and easy on the arm over a long session.
- Sweet spotWideOff-centre hits still go where you meant.
- FeelSoftTakes the sting out and helps the ball off the face.
- HandlingQuickEasy to move at the net and on defence.
Navy, red and a lobster on the back.
The Portofino padel racket is the Euro Summer Club at its most nautical. The front is a deep navy face with the FRLYS wordmark in red varsity letters. Flip it over and the back has a red lobster on a navy and cream pinstripe, finished with a sleek black grip.
As the darkest racket in our Euro padel range, Portofino brings a rich, elegant edge that sets it apart. It looks just as sharp under the evening lights as it does on the walk to the harbour afterwards. This is a statement padel racket for players who like their style classic, confident and effortlessly cool.
Is this racket good for complete beginners? The soft EVA core, round head and fibreglass frame are specifically chosen to help new players learn faster and feel more in control
Will this help me stop mishitting? Absolutely. The round head shape gives you the largest sweet spot, which means more clean shots and fewer frustrating mistakes.
Is it heavy? No. 355–360g is the ideal beginner weight. Light enough to move quickly, stable enough to feel controlled.
If you’re looking for a lightweight beginner padel racket with a soft EVA core and fibreglass frame, we believe this is one of the best options available.

Questions
Your padel questions, answered.

What does a Playtomic rating mean?
Playtomic is the app many clubs use to book courts and find a game, and it gives every player a level from 0 to 7. Portofino is built for players rated 0.5 – 1.85.
Not on Playtomic, or not sure where you sit? Take the quiz and we’ll point you at the right racket.
What do EVA, balance and fibreglass actually mean?
EVA is the foam core inside the face. Soft EVA gives more, so the ball comes off easily and it’s kind on the arm. Hard EVA is firmer and gives back more power when you hit hard.
Balance is where the weight sits, measured in millimetres from the bottom of the handle. Around 255mm is head light and quick in the hand; around 275mm is head heavy, with more power through the swing.
Fibreglass faces flex more, for a softer, more forgiving feel. Carbon faces are stiffer, for more pop and precision.
