Originating in Europe, PALLAP is dedicated to revolutionizing the game of padel with their cutting-edge technology and superior craftsmanship.

Led by Philip Mintz, President and Owner, of PALLAP SPORT USA, and the North American distributor of PALLAP Padel products, Mintz is a sporting goods industry veteran with over 30 years of experience leading top global racket brands.

“With the explosive growth of Padel courts in the US, we see an opportunity for a technical, high-performance brand for all levels of play. PALLAP brings quality and performance equipment for every player from beginner to professional,” said Philip Mintz, President and Owner of PALLAP SPORT USA.

Currently the world’s fastest-growing sport, padel has surged in popularity with nearly 30 million amateur padel players worldwide. In the U.S., it was estimated that as of July 2024 there were 450+ courts spread across 82 U.S. padel venues that served approximately 100,000 American players. According to the 2024 Global Padel Report by Playtomic, the number of padel courts in the U.S. has grown by an average of 61% per year since 2016, with the majority of that growth coming in just the last 18-24 months. In addition, the 2024 World Padel Report by the International Padel Federation (FIP) estimated there was a 152% court growth over in the U.S. in 2023.

With all their products available for purchase online at PALLAPUSA.com, consumers can also purchase PALLAP Padel on Amazon and at select partner retailers and padel clubs including NYC Racquet Sports, Padel Haus, Tennis Plaza Located throughout Florida, Paddlegalaxy.com. For their launch in the U.S. and Canada, PALLAP Padel is introducing two series of rackets for padel players of all levels. These include:

Power Velocity Series:

Designed for speed and a variable offensive game. The diamond shape and the detailed engineering of the racket enable fast reactions, stability and precision.

Control Velocity Series:

The design and the tear drop shape of the Control Velocity Series combines speed and ball control to support

the player’s performance in the defensive as well as the offensive game. The unique and innovative bridge design guarantees an almost vibration free power transfer from the hand to the sweet spot, and a super-fast feedback.

Ranging in price from $119-$379 per racket, PALLAP offers padel players the ability to experience unparalleled stability and vibration damping with their new Rocksolid Bridge Stabilizer Technology. This innovation feature strategically places layers of carbon basalt fibers in the racket's grip and bridge area and delivers several key advantages including:

Enhanced Stiffness: Increases rigidity in high-stress areas for greater durability and performance
Advanced Vibration Damping: Provides direct stroke feedback and perfect control for a superior playing experience.

Other advanced technology and innovation features of the PALLAP rackets include:

Rocksolid 15K Basalt Carbon Fiber: top-line rackets maximize material properties such as tensile strength and specific stiffness while maintaining minimal weight. Featuring ultra-flat, 15,000-filament bi-directional carbon fabric, their 15K technology guarantees superior touch and maximum durability.
Rocksolid Basalt-Carbon: Recent scientific studies have demonstrated that BASALT-CARBON compounds possess superior specific energy absorption capabilities compared to laminates made solely of carbon-epoxy or glass-epoxy. This hybrid fiber is used for high-impact applications in both the automotive and aerospace industries. Their advanced BASALT-CARBON layups enhance the playing feel and absorb unwanted vibrations.
Carbon Kevlar Frame: By incorporating KEVLAR fiberinto our construction, we significantly enhance tensile strength, effectively reducing unwanted torsion during ball impact.
Dual Carbon Frame: The DUAL CARBON FRAME technology incorporates an inner tube made of 3K CARBON, which is encased in an additional outer layer of carbon. This frame offers torsional stiffness for a controlled and powerful game.
Hyperspin: An extremely grippy coating of quartz crystals creates maximum spin on the ball and enhances ball control.
Spindriver: The unique 3D texture induces added ball control and spin upon contact with the racket surface.

In addition to their rackets, PALLAP is also introducing their men’s and women’s apparel collections offering superior comfort, high performance and sustainability in addition to their racket bags and accessories.
