The first Slazenger padel racket collection is named after one of the most iconic tennis rackets ever made, Slazenger Challenge No.1. At one time the racket used by most Grand Slam winners ever.
Actually, Slazenger was one of the first brands to produce padel rackets. We have been around since padel was played with wooden rackets and in different forms. However, for many years and particularly during the last years of rapid growth of the sport, players have been wishing for the greatest brand to enter the world of padel.
And now we are here!
