What is the Drop Shot Padel Tower ? One more circuit? Well no. The Drop Shot Padel Tour was born in the department of Pyrénées Orientales, in the region of Perpignan, where padel has gained a large number of followers in very few years. With the number of clubs and courts constantly increasing, this new circuit is born.

With Padel, this is David Mateo. A child of the Cathar country, crazy about padel, who has been working for several years alongside dynamic clubs like the Mas club. The idea was to allow players from an area to play several tournaments throughout the year to end up among the best, and compete in a better endowed tournament.

2 years ago the company Via was created Padel which sets up turnkey tournaments for clubs and players. And the mayonnaise takes. The equipment supplier Drop Shot trusts and let's go. Several P250s on the program to end with a P500; this was what was announced at the start. This is not to mention the enthusiasm of clubs and sponsors. “We have such a demand that we will create P500s and finish with a Drop Shot masters Padel Tour in P1000 ”says David.

The year 2020 should see more clubs, this time in the Occitanie region. But nothing is frozen with Via Padel which, according to the sponsors and the clubs interested in the adventure, could extend the Drop Shot Padel Tour at national level.
