Drop Shot will be the next partner of the World Padel Tour for the next two years. The exact name of this partnership is technical sponsor I + D. What does that mean ? I for Innovation and D for Development. The purpose of this alliance is to enable the padel to modernize across the world.

We know most of the sponsors that we will find on the WPT circuit this year. Balls, rackets, bag, textile, watch and now I + D, WPT continues to unite with the biggest brands for the development and worldwide expansion of padel (and a little for advertising).

The partnership with Drop Shot, the Spanish brand with which the famous Juan Martin Diaz plays, is quite important. Drop Shot, present in more than 20 countries, is a brand that continues to develop its equipment embedded in snowshoes, innovates on textiles, and seeks new solutions for shoes. A brand that does not fall asleep on its laurels and which already has several patents filed, including the famous CURV 360 * or Drop Energy **.

Although this agreement, let’s not hide it, is made to promote the Drop Shot equipment, it will allow a great involvement of the brands in the innovation of the equipment, and the development of the game, the players, and especially the game. padel.

* Curv 360

This technology is applied to the surface of the pala, making it lighter, more resistant to impact, more elastic and above all more powerful.

** Drop Energy

This technology concerns the foam inside the pala. Instead of having a block of foam, the Drop Energy applies several layers of foam. The objective is a very fast recovery of the shape after each impact, an increase of the power and especially a great capacity to support the differences of temperatures between the summer, the winter, the morning and the evening.
