About the Lobwell Fen

Fen is for the first months, when you are learning the walls and the ball is coming back faster than you expect. Glass fibre faces are more flexible than carbon, which gives a soft, springy feel and plenty of free depth on lobs. If you play once a week or less, or you are buying a racket for a partner who is still deciding whether they love padel, Fen is the sensible start.

  • Glass fibre faces flex more than carbon, so the ball leaves the racket easily
  • The softest feel in the range, kind to elbows and shoulders new to racket sport
  • Round head with a low balance for control and quick hands
  • The lowest price way to stop renting a racket

Who it suits

Built for new players learning the walls. It puts placement and comfort ahead of raw pace.

Questions about the Lobwell Fen

Is the Lobwell Fen good for beginners?

Yes. It has a round head, a soft eva core and a low (head light) balance, which make it forgiving on off-centre hits.

How heavy is the Lobwell Fen?

It is designed at 350 to 360 g before an overgrip, which adds a few grams.

Does it come with a cover?

Not on its own. The First Racket Kit includes extras for less than buying them separately, or add a thermal cover.

Can I return it?

Yes, within 30 days if it is unused and in its packaging. See returns.
