Austrian equipment manufacturer HEAD continues its expansion in international amateur padel. The brand has officially announced an agreement with the International Padel Experience (IPE by Madison), thus becoming the official ball of the circuit in Spain from this 2026 season.
This partnership reinforces the position of the largest international amateur padel circuit, present in more than 20 countries and organizing more than 40 tournaments per year.
A desire to enhance the experience of amateur players
Since its creation, the International Padel Experience aims to offer amateur players an experience close to the top level: competitions in recognized clubs, international dimension and qualification towards a Master Final organized in Tarragona.
The arrival of HEAD fits into this strategy. The brand will now supply the official balls for tournaments held in Spain, including the model HEAD PADEL PRO S+ .
For the circuit, the objective is clear: to standardize competition standards and strengthen the tournament's image among the more than 6,000 players who participate each year in the IPE stages.


HEAD continues its expansion in padel
Already a major presence on the professional circuit, HEAD is also confirming its commitment to increasing its visibility in amateur padel. The brand currently sponsors several leading figures on the world circuit, including Arturo Coello, Paula Josemaría, Ariana Sánchez, Andrea Ustero, Carmen Goenaga, Íñigo Jofre, and Fran Guerrero.
Ricky Brigolle, Category Manager Racket Sports at HEAD Spain, explains:
“We are delighted to become the official ball of the circuit. Our goal is to promote the HEAD PADEL PRO S+ model worldwide and internationally.” Padel Experience will help us with this thanks to Madison's experience and expertise in event organization.
A collaboration poised to become global by 2027
The agreement signed with HEAD Spain represents only a first step. The two organizations have already planned to expand their collaboration internationally from 2027, with the involvement of HEAD's global headquarters based in Austria.
This future expansion will concern all countries in which IPE is currently established.
Christian Nombela, Padel International Manager Padel Experience by Madison believes that this collaboration represents an important step in the development of the circuit:
“After more than 13 years of history, seeing a company as important as HEAD choose us as a partner is a real boost for the competition. This union can allow the circuit to become an international benchmark in amateur padel leagues.”
With this partnership, the International Padel Experience is therefore continuing its strategy of structuring and moving upmarket, in a context where amateur padel continues to develop rapidly on an international scale.
