Your first great padel racquet starts here.
The Babolat Alkes is the entry-level padel racquet built to make you feel at home on the court from day one. Lightweight, forgiving, and easy to handle, it's designed for beginners and recreational players who want to build confidence, develop proper technique, and simply enjoy the game — without fighting their equipment.
The round shape delivers a large, centered sweet spot that reduces unforced errors and keeps the ball going where you want it, even on off-center hits. Fiberglass construction throughout the frame and face creates a soft, flexible feel that absorbs impact comfortably and minimizes vibration, so your arm stays fresh through long sessions and your first-timer nerves stay calm.
At under 360 grams, the Alkes is one of the lightest, most maneuverable racquets in the Babolat lineup — easy to swing fast, quick to reposition, and effortless to control from anywhere on the court. Whether you're learning the basics, picking up padel for the first time, or just looking for a comfortable club-night racquet, the Alkes delivers everything you need to get started and keep improving.
Backed by Babolat's decades of racquet expertise — now at a price that won't hold you back from trying something new.
Play your first point. Love the sport.
