Head Padel 2022 Collection: great rackets unveiled for the new year.

For the new 2022 collection, the Head brand is offering reissues of its most popular rackets. Despite the absence of the Head Alpha, which remains unchanged this year, this new arrival is still exciting, even for advanced players. Esprit Padel Shop brings you a quick analysis of these palas to help you choose your future Head racket. 

The Delta range: the ultimate blend of power and comfort. 

More powerful than the Alpha range, the Delta range is used by advanced players looking to focus their game on power. This year, the entire range has been redesigned to offer brand-new technologies. 

Head Delta Pro 

The Delta Pro is the most powerful racket in this collection, featuring an oversize diamond shape and weight concentrated towards the top of the racket. Thanks to its 100% carbon construction, the pala brings solidity and firmness to your shots. However, the new Auxetic structure delivers increased touch control for your more delicate shots. Spin will also be enhanced thanks to Extreme Spin technology, which adds texture to the faces. 

Head Delta Motion

Substantially similar to the Pro, the Delta Motion is also a power racket, albeit with a slight difference: the weight. At 10 grams lighter than its sibling, the Motion features a different design and better manoeuvrability. All the technologies mentioned above are present on this pala. 

Head Delta Elite 

Another pala in the Delta range, the Elite. Powerful, thanks to its diamond shape, it also features fibreglass faces to make the feel softer and more elastic than the Pro or Motion. The lack of texture on the faces also improves the effectiveness of flat shots. If you have an aggressive game without relying too heavily on spin, this racket is made for you. 

All these rackets use the Power Foam core, a power-specialised core to gain explosiveness with every shot. Once mastered, these rackets can be devastating on smashes and volleys. 

Head Evo Delta 

The Evo Delta delivers all the skill and expertise of Head and the Delta range to beginners looking to start padel with complete peace of mind. Teardrop-shaped, this racket is focused on control and manoeuvrability to master the ball as effectively as possible. With Soft Foam, impact with the ball is softer and the sweet spot more forgiving, for maximum comfort on every shot. 

The Zephyr range: to control every padel shot. 

The Zephyr range focuses on control and precision. Designed for intermediate players, these rackets are ideal for players using a counter-attacking style. 

Head Zephyr Pro 

The Zephyr Pro is a heavy control racket that offers a very attractive power-to-precision ratio. Thanks to the Comfort Foam core rubber and its teardrop shape, the ball touch is soft and manageable to place your shots with precision. Graphene 360+ technology, specific to Head, enhances comfort upon impact. Its relatively heavy weight of 365 grams still allows for powerful play, especially on smashes. 

Head Zephyr and Head Zephyr UL

Like the Pro, the Zephyr is a teardrop-shaped control racket. Lighter than the Pro (20 grams lighter), it allows greater freedom of movement at the expense of shot power. For even more control, the Zephyr UL is even lighter, one of the lightest on the circuit at 340 grams. This pala is ideal for a teenager or a woman wanting to progress in the best possible way. 

The Flash range: perfect for beginners! 

For beginners, Head presents its 2022 Flash collection featuring 2 models well worth a look. With a teardrop shape and a Power Foam core, the Flash Pro offers a very attractive balance to help you grow as a player. The Stabilizer technology balances stability and power to deliver an appealing racket. Its younger sibling, the Flash, shares the same characteristics as the Pro, with a few grams less for manoeuvrability. It is available in two colourways on our website (pink / black and grey / yellow). 

For Head, this new season is set to be busy with reissues of legendary, highly popular rackets. The watchword remains the same for the Austrian brand: quality above all. And with this collection, all padel enthusiasts of any level will find what they need.
