HEAD and Rezztek® have developed a new performance enhancing accessory for padel players: the HEAD Pro Spin Strips.

The HEAD Pro Spin Strips have been developed to bring more spin and better control to padel players worldwide. Utilizing the Rezztek® technology, the HEAD Pro Spin Strips are made from a light, thin and durable material, that can be applied to the hitting surface of any padel racquet (in the sweet spot area) to help players generate more spin on important padel shots like volleys, bandejas, víboras, smashes and serves.

“We are incredibly excited to partner with HEAD,” said Andrej Dula, Rezztek®‘s CEO. “Rezztek® is already an established brand in hockey, where it is used in the NHL, Olympic Games and is sold in more than 23 countries around the world. We’ve dedicated more than 2 years to developing a product for padel, after realizing the increasing popularity of the sport. After hundreds of hours of testing with pro padel players and coaches, we have not only developed a product that will help all padel players, but will also fit all padel racquets at an attractive price.” 

HEAD Pro Spin Strips’ multi-layer material structure only weighs 2 grams per application, so it doesn’t add unnecessary weight to a padel racquet. Its grippy rough surface increases the grip on the ball and also the spin that the player can generate on the ball. The HEAD Pro Spin Strips are replaceable, and can be removed easily without causing any damage to the padel racquet. They are also durable, lasting up to 50 hours of play before needing to be replaced. Padel players can apply HEAD Pro Spin Strips to the surface of any padel racquet themselves, without needing the help of a professional. They are also transparent, so they won’t take away from the design of your padel racquet. The HEAD Pro Spin Strips will be sold in double packs.

“We are always looking for innovation in our products, as we have shown with the Extreme One racquet and the BOA padel shoes,” said Pasquale Ruzicka, Global Business Manager at HEAD. “We truly believe that Rezztek®’s material and the HEAD Pro Spin Strips product allows players to enhance their performance and become better padel players. Our sales branches and distributors have shown big interest in this new product, and we are very excited about the introduction of the HEAD Pro Spin Strips not only for players that already use HEAD PADEL racquets, but also any other padel racquet brand.”

The HEAD Pro Spin Strips powered by Rezztek® are available now bundled with the launch of the Limited Edition Racquets of world #1 padel players: Arturo Coello, Ari Sánchez and Paula Josemaría. The HEAD Pro Spin Strips will launch also as a separate accessory, becoming available in more than 65 countries around the world.
