Raquex, the padel rackets built to Be Different, Designed for Every Player

We believe playing with a Raquex racket really does make a difference.

"I first met Olly Rose while travelling around the UK visiting padel clubs and industry events. Then something else caught my attention.

I found myself completely mesmerised by the video on the Raquex website, watching the craftsmanship and precision behind the production of their rackets. I must have watched it more than once. From that moment, I knew I wanted Raquex to be part of London Padel Week.

So I kept in touch with Olly, convinced that the brand deserved to be discovered by the growing British padel community.

I'm delighted that this year Raquex has joined London Padel Week as an official partner. Throughout the festival, players will have the opportunity to test the Raquex padel rackets on court and experience the difference for themselves.

We're curious to hear your verdict—but we already have our own opinion." (Selena Pellegrini Co-Founder London Padel week)

Some brands are created to follow the market.

Others are created to challenge it.

That perfectly describes Raquex, the British racquet sports brand founded by Olly Rose, whose passion for racquet sports has shaped every product the company develops.

What started as a desire to improve one piece of equipment has grown into a philosophy that influences everything Raquex creates: never settle for ordinary.

A lifelong passion for racquet sports

Olly's story began long before Raquex.

His first love was squash, a sport he played to a high level while also competing in tennis, badminton and even the historic game of rackets.

His passion was simple.

If it involved a racquet, he wanted to play it.

Even after stepping away from competitive squash, that passion never disappeared.

Instead, it evolved into something new.

A few years later, Raquex was born.

Creating products that stand out

The company's first objective wasn't to become another equipment brand.

It was simply to make something better.

As a player, Olly regularly used a popular product that, in his opinion, never quite lived up to its potential.

Rather than accepting it, he decided to understand how products are really designed and manufactured—and whether it was possible to create something genuinely different.

It wasn't easy.

But after plenty of research, experimentation and determination, Raquex succeeded.

That same mindset now defines the entire brand.

Every product starts with one simple question:

How can we make this better?

Today, Raquex continues to develop equipment that combines performance, innovation and thoughtful design, always challenging conventional expectations.

Raquex: the padel rackets more than products

For Olly, Raquex has become much more than a manufacturer.

It represents a different way of thinking.

The company continually looks for opportunities to improve not only its products, but also the experience of players who use them.

Being different isn't a marketing slogan.

It's the philosophy behind everything the brand does.

Discovering the world of padel

Although squash remains close to his heart, Olly has naturally embraced padel as the sport has exploded across the UK.

He happily admits he isn't the player testing every new product himself.

That responsibility belongs to the talented athletes and ambassadors who represent Raquex, many of whom are among the country's top players.

Instead, Olly enjoys watching them compete, gathering their feedback and using those insights to continue improving the equipment they rely on.

Why padel is transforming the UK

For Olly, the secret behind padel's extraordinary growth is remarkably simple.

Few sports bring generations together quite like padel.

Teenagers can share a court with players two or even three times their age, enjoying competitive rallies, plenty of laughs and a great workout at the same time.

That unique combination of accessibility, inclusivity and fun is helping padel become one of Britain's fastest-growing sports.

A movement, not a trend

Raquex doesn't see padel as a passing fashion.

Every day, the team witnesses the positive impact the sport has on people's lives.

Players are becoming healthier.

Communities are growing.

New friendships are being created.

And more people are discovering a sport they genuinely want to keep playing.

For Olly, that's exactly why Raquex exists—to support that journey and help keep the momentum going.

Why London Padel Week

When asked why Raquex decided to become a partner of London Padel Week, Olly's answer is refreshingly simple.

Shared passion.

A shared passion for growing padel.

A shared passion for innovation.

And a shared belief that bringing brands, clubs and players together is the best way to help the sport continue its remarkable growth.

For Raquex, London Padel Week is the perfect place to connect with the community that inspires everything they create.

One word defines padel

If Olly had to describe padel in a single word, his answer would be:

Community.

Because beyond every racket, every match and every point won or lost, padel is ultimately about people.

And that's what makes it unlike any other sport.
