How we rank
Evidence before hype.
Score from facts — The score comes from specifications, retailer ratings and the current price. We do not test rackets ourselves.
Number of sources — Every score shows how many public sources it comes from.
Prices with a timestamp — Across every retailer we track, per country, with the time of the last check shown on each price.
We match products using EAN or GTIN, manufacturer part numbers, brand, model and variant details so offers for the same product stay together.
Reviews and scores
- We read the customer ratings and review scores that retailers and other permitted sources show publicly on their product pages.
- We do not check whether a review comes from someone who bought the product.
- We do not pay for reviews, and we do not filter reviews by their rating.
- The score comes from the Padel Scout fact model: aligned specifications, retailer scores that are marked as evidence and the current value for money.
- We convert customer ratings to a five-point scale. They sit next to that score and are not counted in it.
- Every score states how many public sources it comes from.
