What’s always in your padel bag? 🎒

My racket.

Two rackets, balls, towel, elastic straps for warming up, change of t-shirt, wrist bands for sweat,, extra grip and a lot of hopes that get Always Lost before the games end

Tears. Of my opponents.

* Racket * Towel to wipe off sweat between games * Water bottle to stay hydrated between sets * Fresh balls, so I don’t have to rely on my opponents’ old ones * Padel shoes, so I don’t step in dog shit with them on the way to the club

Rackets, shoes, bandaids, overgrips and electrolyte tabs

Spare socks

Not said yet, always some small scissors and athletic tape and an extra frame protector. And a hat. Where I play it's warm and sunny and we are outside but mostly covered on the courts.

Baby wipes are surprisingly useful!

My safety glasses. I think it’s insane to play without eye protection.

For me, the essentials are an empty water bottle and overgrips. I’ve forgotten my drink a few times, and sometimes I’m not fully confident in how durable my grip is. It can even still be a little damp from the previous match. Friends of mine have had the same problem, and I’ve sometimes handed them one of my overgrips. A mental gesture I guess. I also bring something like Dextro. Not even for myself, but for moments when my partner says he’s tired or struggling. Then I can just hand it over. It’s like a practical way of saying, “shut up, no worries, no excuses.” Another small mental gesture lol

A tube of fruit pastilles. I carry the rest by hand

I carry 5 pairs of underwear, an electric toothbrush, a seat cushion, and some dry-erase markers.
