Tecnifibre Curva Soft Padel Racket (2026)

Tecnifibre lists 360 g, a neutral balance and a 38 mm cross section, with the face coated in Spin Skin 3D raised markings to grip the ball. Tennisnuts lists a soft EVA core, and another retailer calls it a flexible single-piece foam that maximises elasticity at impact.

That adds up to a comfortable, springy racket where the soft core does much of the work. It is not built to be a bruiser, and the teardrop shape keeps the sweet spot reasonably generous.

Tecnifibre and Racquetpoint say neutral, while Tennis Warehouse Europe and Tennisnuts say medium or even, which in practice describe the same mid-point. A Curva Soft V2 also turns up at DoIt Tennis, so check the season. A 2025 Curva Soft listing gives a different face, but we have not applied that to the 2026 racket.

Without a face spec or a level rating, the safest reading is the family one: a soft, versatile teardrop. If you want a stated carbon face, the Curva Power is the one to look at.

The Curva Power is the most powerful in the range, with an open-weave 18K carbon face, and last season's Curva Power 2025 reads the same on paper. Last season's Curve Soft 2025 is the same racket in its older listing, the lighter Curva Speed is the 355 g option, and the Bomba Soft is the diamond-shaped soft racket.

Anyone who needs a confirmed face material or a stated level before buying, and hard hitters who want a firm racket. Our teardrop padel rackets page compares others of the same shape, and our intermediate padel rackets page covers the step above.

Pair it with fresh padel balls, an overgrip from our padel grips range, a racket protector and proper padel shoes. Our guide to choosing a padel racket covers weight and shape, and the full padel racket range has the rest.
