BELA CIAO! It's over between Fernando Belasteguin and Head Padel. An adventure that will have lasted 10 years and which therefore ends after good and loyal service. Obviously the first question we ask ourselves is why and where to go.

We will try to play the tipsters.

Why separation?

Head and Bela part in very good terms. The proof with this press release Head Padel who wishes Bela good luck for the rest of his career. Their “strategy was different ” seems to indicate to us the Austrian firm, the reason for this separation. Head did not comment on the end of this collaboration.

However, for almost 6 months, Head Padel has invested a lot in Bela and its BELA X racquet, the famous limited edition racquet that has been all the rage for several weeks and which will logically be followed by the DELTA HYBRID 2020 in a very short time.

To play with which brand?

On social networks, it is racing. Many brands are cited. We will try to take a look at the brands we think of:

Wilson: It is certainly the most cited brand on the web and which benefits the most from this separation between Head and Bela. If it turns out that Bela is not going to Wilson, we can say that the American brand which is making a significant breakthrough in the world of padel for a year will have undoubtedly benefited from this separation with a big spotlight.

Nox: Agustin Tapia is Bela's partner in 2020. Tapia explained to our microphones that there was a long-term project with Bela. The two players do not intend to separate for several years a priori. Fashion: See pairs team up with the same supplier. The problem: The cost. Would Nox be ready to break the piggy bank to recruit Bela? Not obvious, especially since Nox already has a very interesting team with Tapia and Lamperti for men and that its objective is rather to recruit from women in 2020/2021.

Asics: Asics is the brand used by left-hander Pablo Lima, Bela's former partner. Rumors are circulating about a possible departure of Pablo to go to Bullpadel. There would therefore be an interest for Asics to recruit the former world number one.

Babolat : We believe less. Babolat is already involved with his team including the current world number one Juan Lebron who has renewed for 3 years.

What if Bela was playing with her own brand?

A persistent idea on the circuit. Rumor? For the moment, not a single word from Bela, even if we know that he has ambitions to develop his own brand and it would not be a first in the padel as with its feed brand.

Bela: His own brand of padel ?

Bela and Just Ten, possible?
