Head takes a new step towards sustainability and incorporates as a novelty in its catalog four models of pressurizers that maintain and reinforce the pressure of tennis balls and padel.

An eco-responsible initiative!

The Austrian brand has signed a collaboration agreement with the Spanish company TuboPlus for the design, production and distribution of the four pressurizer models in 21 countries. The license, which bears the name of Head Pressurizers, completes the product portfolio HEAD and widens the sales horizon of TuboPlus, industry leader.

The introduction of pressurizers Head is part of the initiative Head rethink of the company, which aims to improve the sports performance of all products while minimizing the environmental footprint of the company. The recyclable tennis ball tubes now available and the FLAX racket, made from flax fibres, are examples.

Ricky brigolle, Category Manager Racquetsports at Head Spain, said : “The development of pressurizers achieves two essential objectives for Head : firstly, it minimizes the environmental impact, since the number of thrown balls is reduced. Second, with this launch, we're giving players all the products they need to enjoy racquet sports."

According to Juan Jose Munoz Paredes, Director of TuboPlus "Ball pressurizers are an absolutely necessary product in the backpack of tennis players and padel to extend the life of the balls and reduce their high production, which is around 360 million per year, according to the International Tennis Federation“. He adds : "It is something new, functional and modern, which maintains the quality of ball rebound for longer and prevents possible injuries."

The four models in detail

The pressurizer collection consists of four models, suitable for tennis and padel, with the following characteristics :

  • Le Head X3 BLACK maintains the pressure of three balls (tennis and padel) thanks to its patented hermetic closure system TuboPlus, which helps seal the air inside the ball and bring the pressure up to 14-16 PSI. Thus, the bullets cannot eliminate their internal air and maintain the original pressure.
  • Head x3 Pump (three balls) and Head x4 Pump (four Balles) maintain and recover bullet pressure. These pressurizers, in the same way as the previous model, incorporate the same hermetic sealing system, but include a high-reach valve to inject air and an air pump. These models manage to increase the internal pressure of the balls up to 22-34 PSI.
  • Cart HEAD x100, which can hold up to 103 bullets, has an air injection system that allows the pressure inside to be increased up to 21 PSI. This model can be used with an air compressor or floor pump and is the ideal choice for clubs, schools and tennis and tennis instructors. padel.

Passionate about football, I discovered the padel in 2019. Since then, it's been crazy love with this sport to the point of abandoning my favorite sport.
