The eyes of the world are on Spain and its professional circuit of padel… But Spain has its eyes on the international scene. Indeed, "the market padel Spanish doesn't really change anymore. To sell more, you have to export. Abroad, there is everything to do."

Unfortunately, we cannot give you with precision, the turnover of the sales of rackets of padel in France. Moreover, this does not only concern France, but all the countries where there is padel. If the padel "has reached in Spain its maximum”Tells us many actors of padel in Spain, however, we can observe an increase in the turnover of the Spanish market even if no figures will be given as the answers vary.

Strange, isn't it? What is happening then? Spanish brands and websites are the big winners for now, but you will see that there are perverse effects.

Fortunately, France is getting organized, often with a lot of work from brand sales representatives on French territory, clubs that never stop communicating and French websites that are particularly active on events in France. padel. But how hard it is to fight Spain, which is decades ahead of France.

For now, the Spanish market is benefiting from the surge in padel internationally. You will see that if the actors of the padel (brands and clubs in particular) invest in the promotion of padel, the return on investment per nation is sometimes not very clear and it is not about to be clarified if nothing changes.

Can we have a precise figure on the turnover achieved by brands in each country?

For the moment, it's impossible. Firstly because the brands remain discreet. But also and especially because the brands are not necessarily in the ability to know what is the exact turnover by country.

Specifically, it is impossible to know the turnover of a racket brand in France for example.

For a very simple reason: The players and customers buy largely in Spain. And the Spanish sites that sell snowshoes do not say who they are selling to.

Fortunately, French sites and clubs are organized with the help of brand salespeople in France. But it's far from obvious.

Communication and the work of French brands, clubs and sites in France are important. But this mainly benefits the Spanish market. Consequently, the total turnover of sales in Spain is necessarily biased as is the French turnover.

The Spanish turnover benefits enormously the nations where the padel expands.

And in countries where the padel is developing like France, it is impossible to know the real turnover there, which is much lower than the reality. This observation is applicable to many European countries.

What we do know is that there are more and more players from padel in France as elsewhere in the world and that this necessarily benefits the brands at the end of the chain.

But in this mechanism, we will try to show you that it is better to buy in France than in Spain.

Why is it better to buy in France than in Spain?

Our words are thoughtful and verifiable every day. There is therefore no bias, but only a simple observation: In reality, the customer should systematically buy his racket. padel in France.

The reasons :

1. Rates in France are low.

Clubs and shops of padel French offer very competitive rates. Most often at the same rate as the Spanish rates. So check in your club or on the French sites.

A few euros sometimes, is it really worth to try the adventure in Spain while you have many guarantees in France?

2. Test your material

In your club and via more and more French sites, you also have the opportunity to test your equipment. What service ! it allows you to avoid making mistakes when you buy.

Therefore, there is every interest in playing the game and buying in a club of padel who lent you the equipment instead of going to buy on a Spanish website to earn a few euros. Many clubs padel launch this alert to the players ...

"By force, there will be no more club service, more help or advice, when we see the behavior of some of the players who ask us for advice or test equipment before buying elsewhere" .

3. Customer service

Attention: In case of problem, forget the after-sales service. Your racket is late, your racket has a default, do not count on the Spanish website by which you went, or the representatives of the brand in France to make a move or replace the racket.

A racket padel is much more fragile than a tennis racket. If we change the string for a tennis racket, in the padel, it is the racket that we change (sometimes regularly). However, we do not always know how the rackets of padel in Spain have been stored and preserved. Without realizing it, your racquet may have already lost its liveliness, the rubber may already be deteriorating ...

That's why buying in France will make it much easier for you to return (or replace) your equipment if it does not fit.

 4. Take part in the economic life of padel

This article is not intended to be moral, especially since in this case, here it is in the interest of the customer to buy instead in France. Clubs padel and French sites are part of the economic life of the padel in France. They invest in the promotion of padel in France, the French media of which we are part, in players of padel. The sales representatives of the brands are sometimes also remunerated according to the turnover of their area. And many are struggling to develop their brand and the padel in general.

So play the game and buy French because you will be a winner.
