The By-VP Control 1800 II is part of Robin van Persie's collection. The (former) footballer is a passionate padel enthusiast and has a natural talent for the game. Given his remarkable technique and ball sense in football, it's no surprise. He has a good understanding of the sport and knows what makes a great padel racket. Hence, he has launched his own line of padel rackets and other padel products. The racket features a round-shaped blade with a centrally located balance point, resulting in a large sweet spot for precise ball contact. The By-VP Control 1800 II is most suitable for intermediate to advanced players. It is slightly heavier in weight and made of harder materials, making it slightly more challenging to handle, hence some padel experience is recommended. All in all, it's an excellent padel racket for intermediate to advanced padel players with a defensive and controlled playing style.
