History of Babolat Padel
2000 - Always on the lookout for new racquet sport trends, Babolat spots a rising star: Padel, a new sport similar to tennis in Spain and Central and South America. The brand adds its first racquet to its existing accessories and drives Padel's growth. Babolat also launches Sensor, a new range of finely tuned stringing machines for badminton and tennis.
Babolat and Michelin joined force in 2003 to develop tennis shoes. A specialist in rubber wear and handling performance, Michelin develops products with its R&D team at its Ladoux centre in Puy de Dôme, France. They also work together on the design and manufacture of padel shoes.
2021 - Juan Lebron, no. 1 in the world for the third year running. In addition to winning his first world title with Spain and his first Masters, Juan has also finished the year as the number one player in the world for the third year in a row. Juan likes to play an attacking game with his Technical Viper racket, and along with his compatriot, Ale Galan, he is dominating the Padel world more than ever.
Babolat is now an established padel brand, set to continue on a strong growth trajectory for years to come.
