Alacrán Sahara
The Sahara is Alacrán's other beginner frame, built to make the first months of padel comfortable rather than to reward a developed technique. The brand positions it as an ally for players starting out, which means a soft, accessible build and a forgiving response.
It sits beside the Pyramid at the entry end of the range. Between the two, the practical difference is which shape and feel suit you, not which is the higher level — Alacrán does not tier its frames, so neither is a step above the other.
