Statistics methodology
How we calculate these numbers
Dataset eligibility: every insight uses the same Padel Racket Database cohort as /padel/rackets/database — category cat-padel-rackets, sport sport-padel, published status, authentic product media (canFeatureProduct). Soft-gated accessory/clothing categories are excluded until ready.
Unit of analysis: one Kitletics product model equals one database record. Variant rows are not counted as separate models.
Missing values: unknown specs and prices are omitted from distributions and averages. They are never treated as zero and never inferred from peers. Each statistic publishes sampleSize, populationSize and coverage.
Weight: published minimum weight (grams) only. We do not invent midpoints from published minimum/maximum weight ranges.
Price basis: lowest verified offer in the site default region (typically EUR). This is not launch/MSRP. Affiliate commission never affects inclusion or sort.
Distribution cards require at least 8 models with the relevant known field before they appear. Brand assortment emphasises brands with ≥3 eligible models.
Update mechanism: insights are computed at request/build time from the live eligible catalog. There is no separately authored statistics content file claiming industry-wide market share.

About the Kitletics Padel Racket Dataset
57 catalog-eligible padel rackets · 13 brands · citation version 2026.09. Not a peer-reviewed academic dataset — a structured Kitletics catalog extract. Not industry-wide market share.
A “Dataset updated” date is shown only when Kitletics records an intentional refresh stamp. Deploy time is never used as a freshness claim.

What is included
This dataset is the public Padel Racket Database view of Kitletics’ padel-racket catalog: 57 current product models across 13 brands. It is derived from the same product records used elsewhere on Kitletics — not a parallel spreadsheet.
Eligibility criteria
A racket appears when it is in category cat-padel-rackets, tagged sport-padel, published, not discontinued, and has authentic product media (canFeatureProduct). Soft-gated empty categories (accessories/clothing) are excluded until ready — this cohort is catalog-eligible with authentic media.
How specifications are sourced
Shape, balance, minimum/maximum weight, core, face material and related fields come from stored product specifications (manufacturer / verified catalog research). Decision scores (power, control, comfort, maneuverability) come from editorial decision attributes with provenance — not laboratory measurements.
Missing-data handling
Missing specs and prices are left blank. They are never treated as zero and never inferred from peers. Weight midpoints are never invented from minimum/maximum ranges — published minimum weight is used for filters and sorts; ranges are shown when a maximum exists.
Update process
The page recalculates from the live eligible catalog when content changes. We only show a dataset refresh date after an intentional public update — routine deploys do not invent a freshness stamp. If no refresh date is shown, treat coverage as current to the live catalog without a separate dated release.
Regional price handling
Prices shown are the lowest verified offer in the site default region (NL), when a displayable offer exists. That is not launch/MSRP.
Recommendation independence
Recommended sort and Kitletics scores use editorial recommendation logic. Affiliate commission and retailer payout never determine ranking or inclusion.
Affiliate disclosure
Some retailer links elsewhere on Kitletics may be affiliate links. Commission does not change which rackets appear in this database or how they are sorted.
Dataset coverage
Statistics describe only this eligible Kitletics cohort. They are not industry-wide market-share claims for the global padel racket market.

Methodology
How this database is built
Every row is derived from the same Kitletics product catalog that powers product pages, reviews and finders — not a parallel spreadsheet.
Rackets appear when they pass catalog-eligible gates: category cat-padel-rackets, sport sport-padel, published status, and authentic product media (canFeatureProduct). Draft and media-gated products are excluded. Soft-gated accessory and clothing categories stay out of this cohort until they are ready.
Specifications such as shape, balance, minimum and maximum weight, core and face material are shown only when present on the product record. Missing values are left blank — we do not invent weight midpoints or infer specs from peers.
Recommended sort uses Kitletics recommendation scores — never affiliate commission or retailer payout. Prices reflect the lowest verified offer in the default region when available.
Statistics describe only this eligible Kitletics cohort. They are not industry-wide claims about the global padel racket market.
