Unlike tennis, which is more about power, padel is more about strategy and technique. Adding more spin to your shots allows you to dictate the pace of the point, making it harder for your opponent to return the ball. Adding more spin to your volley’s keeps the ball bouncing lower, applying more pressure to your opponent. Adding more kick to your smashes, allows you to finish the point by hitting the ball out of the court.

Some padel racquets have a more rough surface finish, or a different built-in spin technology. There are 3 problems with these: 

1. Some of these technologies have zero scientific proof as to increase the spin on the ball.  
2. They are usually only available to high end rackets 
3. They wear off with play 

Spin Strips are here for all players that want more spin on their shots. On any racquet, not just a premium and expensive padel racquets. Spin Strips last a long time (up to 50 hours of play), but after that they are removable and replaceable without any damage to the racquet.

Spin Strips are super easy to apply if you only watch the short How-to-Apply video.

Spin Strips last up to 50 hours of play. Like other grip surfaces, after the recommended time, the grip starts to decline and we recommend replacing them, when you can feel the grip wearing off.

Every Spin Strips packaging includes 2 Spin Strips products. You can either apply them to both sides of your racquet or just one, depending on the style of your play, and position on court. Every Spin Strips product includes longer and shorter Strips and Dots, making it possible to apply them on all racquets.

On the contrary, based on their design and the high grip, Spin Strips enhance the spin on all padel racquets, from lower end models all the way up to premium models from all padel racquets brands.

Yes, if your racquet design or hole structure requires you to cut the Spin Strips into smaller pieces, you can do it with regular scissors.

Yes, Spin Strips were developed with pro players and padel coaches to design them in a way that they can be added to any racquets to improve its performance. The Spin Strips were extensively tested by players of all levels, ranging from WPT professional players to padel coaches.

No, the Spin Strips use a pressure – sensitive adhesive to fully adhere to your padel racquet. Once applied, the adhesive activates. If you remove them and re-apply, we cannot guarantee 100% adhesion of the Spin Strips to your racket, so we do not recommend re-applying them.

The piece with the Head logo is intended for your racquets sweet spot. This is the intersection of the two lines (vertical and horizontal) where your racquet is the widest. It helps you identify the ideal spot where the ball should hit your racquet and this should be the spot on your racquet where most of your shots are hit.

The sweet spot depends on your racquet's shape. On circular padel racquets, it is always directly in the center of your racquet. On diamond, tear or drop shaped racquets, the sweet spot is usually higher than the center of the racquet. Easiest way to identify your racquet's sweet spot is to draw two lines (vertical and horizontal) placing them, where there is maximum distance from one edge of the racquet to the other edge. Where these lines intersect, your racquet's sweet spot lies.
