In padel as in watchmaking, masterpieces are born from the alliance between  traditional  et  innovation  measured. The FR 2025 range embodies this philosophy brilliantly, proving that true performance lies in balance rather than disruption.
Start Distrib has made the bold choice of favoring proven technical solutions rather than giving in to the siren call of innovation.  gadget and flashy The result speaks for itself: palas that offer that rare alchemy between authentic sensations and consistent performance.
A tribute to know-how, a response to current expectations – proof that classics, when perfectly mastered, do not need a revolution to establish themselves.
Purists will appreciate the calculated return of the  HR3 foam  and the legacy of the framework of the AT-10 , while modern players will find all the responsiveness required by contemporary padel. By avoiding excessive rigidity of the cores  MLD, Nox , preserves with this series, what makes the soul of its palas: a touch recognizable among a thousand.
I also had the opportunity to test the new Nerbo balls at length, much more dynamic than the old ones  Titanium . The famous “pshiiit” at the opening testifies to their high pressurization, and on the court, this reactivity was strongly confirmed: the exchanges gain in speed and intensity, favoring a resolutely offensive game. For players looking for an incisive and rhythmic style of play, these balls are an excellent reference – highly recommended!

A big thank you to  Christophe Peauger   from home   Star Distribution  for its  expertise  and  availability , always ready – even on weekends and holidays! – to share his knowledge with passion.
