HEAD introduces a major advancement in terms of durability, speed, and control. The Austrian brand has developed two completely new padel balls: the HEAD PADEL PRO + and the HEAD PADEL PRO S, an evolution of the current PRO and PRO S models, with the goal of increasing durability by enhancing pressure retention.
"The modern game of padel has evolved, becoming faster due to advances in players' skills. As a result, durability has become essential to ensure that the ball maintains consistent performance, allowing players to enjoy the game for longer. Our two new padel balls are designed to meet the demands of today's players," says Simon Brenneis, Global Business Manager Footwear & Balls at HEAD.
HEAD PADEL PRO +
Take control of the game even further with the HEAD PADEL PRO +, the official ball of the Spanish Padel Federation (FEP). With a newly formulated core that retains pressure longer and a new felt developed exclusively for padel, the HEAD PADEL PRO + is now even more durable, incorporating a thinner core that enhances control.
Popular among the most demanding players seeking exceptional control, it is packaged more sustainably, featuring a new can design made with 30% recycled PET plastic, a shorter label, and reduced ink usage on the packaging.
HEAD PADEL PRO S +
Speed up the game with the HEAD PADEL PRO S +, a ball designed for faster rallies. It features a thicker, more durable core and new, exclusive felt designed to last longer. The core, made with a new formula, helps the ball retain pressure for a longer time. Additionally, the new felt, developed exclusively for padel, improves the ball’s durability so you can keep playing fast for longer.
To reduce environmental impact, the HEAD PADEL PRO S + is packaged more sustainably, with a new design that makes the tube and sleeve more eco-friendly and easier to recycle.
This redesign of the new balls is part of HEAD Rethink initiative, aimed at enhancing the sporting performance of all HEAD products. "Improving the performance of a padel ball requires reevaluating all the materials used in its production and the manufacturing process parameters. That’s why we have invested considerable effort into developing a new compound and felt to create two completely new balls with innovative features," says Mauro Pinaffo, Senior Global Product Manager Balls & Accessories at HEAD.
The newly designed balls are much more durable and faster, offering different combinations of speed and control to meet the needs of all players. The HEAD PADEL PRO + is ideal for playing in warmer locations or at higher altitudes, while the HEAD PADEL PRO S + is perfect for playing in cooler locations or at sea level. With these sensational options, you’ll have two incredible ways to win a match.
