Swingweight: what it means in padel

Swingweight measures how "heavy" the racket feels while you swing it, that is, its inertia around the grip point.

Two rackets with the same weight can have different swingweights if the weight is distributed differently. A high swingweight gives stability and power but makes the racket slower to move; a low one makes it quicker at the net. Few manufacturers declare it: some shops measure it, and in that case we report it on the pages.
