Pádel Nuestro, an associate company of the International Padel Cluster, is participating for the second consecutive year in the Generali Hexagon Cup, one of the most prominent tournaments on the international calendar, taking place from January 28 to February 1, 2026, at the Caja Mágica in Madrid.
The company has its own dedicated space at the event, where it is presenting the main padel product innovations and launches for the 2026 season, reinforcing its role as a sector benchmark and a meeting point for players, brands and fans.
Innovation in padel equipment and gear
According to Pablo Gómez Carruthers, Product Manager at Pádel Nuestro, one of the most notable trends this season is the growing number of rackets incorporating adjustable weight distribution systems. This technology, which began to emerge in 2020, is gaining increasing traction in the market, allowing players to adapt the racket’s balance to their playing needs and offering greater versatility on court.
This trend, Gómez Carruthers explains, reflects the ongoing professionalization of padel, with equipment increasingly focused on providing customized solutions and enhancing on-court performance. In sports apparel, innovations such as seamless garments, laser-cut seams and new technical fabrics designed to improve player comfort are also becoming more prominent.
Padel as a global phenomenon
Pádel Nuestro’s presence at the Generali Hexagon Cup comes at a key moment for the global growth of padel. According to the latest data from the International Padel Federation (FIP), as of December, padel is now played in more than 150 countries, boasts over 35 million players worldwide and exceeds 77,300 active courts.
Within this global landscape, Spain continues to act as the epicenter of world padel, with more than 5 million players, close to 17,300 courts and approximately half of all European padel players.
With the largest padel product catalog on the market, Pádel Nuestro continues to drive its international expansion, strengthening its presence in new markets and consolidating its position as a leading retailer for players of all levels.
