History of Head Padel
Head Padel, a division of the globally renowned sports equipment manufacturer Head, has made significant strides in the world of padel since its inception. Known for its innovative designs and high-quality products, Head Padel has become a leading name in the sport, attracting both professional and amateur players.
Early Beginnings
Founded in 1950 by Howard Head, an aeronautical engineer, the Head brand initially focused on ski and tennis equipment. With a passion for sports and a keen eye for innovation, Howard Head revolutionized the skiing industry with the first metal laminate skis. This set a precedent for the company’s future endeavors. The success in skiing led to the development of tennis rackets, and Head quickly established itself as a leader in both markets.
Entry into Padel
Head entered the padel market in the early 2000s, recognizing the sport’s rapid growth and popularity, particularly in Spain and Latin America. The brand leveraged its expertise in racket sports to create high-performance padel rackets, combining cutting-edge technology with superior materials.
Technological Innovations
- Graphene Technology: One of Head’s most significant contributions to padel has been the incorporation of graphene in its rackets. Graphene, a form of carbon known for its strength and lightness, allows for the creation of rackets that offer exceptional power and control. The use of graphene has set Head apart from many competitors, providing players with a competitive edge on the court.
- Comfort and Performance: Head Padel has continuously focused on improving player comfort and performance. Technologies such as Comfort Foam and Anti-Shock Skin help reduce vibrations and enhance playability. This ensures that players can enjoy longer sessions without compromising on performance or comfort.
