Teardrop-shaped shovels
They are a mixture between the round shaped blades and the teardrop-shaped blades. They are usually very manageable, although they do not reach the manageability of the round shaped blades. They also have a good power but without reaching the end of the diamond-shaped models.
Nowadays they are the shovels that are most seen by the padel courts and the brands are realizing this, so they are betting on them.
