In yet another move to showcase its full potential and strengthen its presence at international events, HEAD will be the official ball of the Santiago Premier P1, taking place from March 23 to 30, and the Bordeaux Premier P2, scheduled for June 30 to July 6. Additionally, the Austrian brand will also be the official padel racket of the Bordeaux tournament.
HEAD was already the official ball of the Gijón Premier Padel P2 from February 24 to March 2, an event that attracted over 4,300 spectators. The Austrian brand made its debut in the first tournament of the year in Spain, the second stop of the Qatar Airways Premier Padel Tour, with its two new models: the HEAD Padel Pro+ and the HEAD Padel Pro S+.
The same will apply to the tournaments in Santiago and Bordeaux. Both models feature a core made from a new formula that retains pressure for a longer time, along with a newly developed felt designed exclusively for padel, increasing durability. The HEAD Padel Pro+ has a thinner wall, making it easier to control, and is more popular among players seeking precision. The HEAD Padel Pro S+, with greater hardness and bounce, enables a faster-paced game. Additionally, the balls now come in more sustainable packaging with a redesigned tube that is more eco-friendly and easier to recycle.
Mauro Pinaffo, Senior Global Product Manager for Tennis and Padel Balls at HEAD, stated: “Following the successful launch in September 2024 of our new-generation HEAD Padel PRO S+ and HEAD Padel PRO+ balls, we are proud to be the official ball supplier for three Premier Padel tournaments: Gijón P2, Santiago P1, and Bordeaux P2.” He also expressed his satisfaction, adding, “Both balls offer enhanced durability to withstand high-intensity matches, reflecting HEAD’s commitment to advancing technology in padel sports. The Pro S+, designed for elite performance, prioritizes explosive speed for dynamic rallies, while the PRO+ emphasizes precise control for tactical accuracy.”
These collaborations highlight the trust that top players and tournament organizers place in HEAD’s cutting-edge equipment. Designed to meet the demands of professional circuits, HEAD’s new padel balls deliver consistent, high-quality performance, making them ideal for all types of players.
