Slazenger…you sure know the name, but maybe you’ve always wondered what happened to this iconic brand?
Founded in 1881 by two brothers from England, Slazenger is one of the longest-running and best-known sports brands in history, with a rich heritage in tennis, cricket, golf, and some of the most famous Recognition from athletes such as Sir Donald Bradman, Bjorn Borg, Seve Ballesteros and Jimmy Connors.
Slazenger was actually one of the first sports brands to enter the padel market when they used wooden rackets. After a long absence from the sport, they are now bringing their heritage, signature style and elegance back to the great sport.
The Slazenger Padel brand was recently acquired by Swedish business investors who brought their skills, creativity and drive to build the brand into one of the best. Not only have they invested heavily in R&D, designing and ensuring the exceptional quality of all their products, but they have also invested in great ambassadors and players, not the least of which is Sandy Farquharson of the padel school.
Slazenger offers 7 different racquets, all in their traditional colors, white, maroon, gold, black and silver. There is a racquet to suit every style of game and player.
They’ve also launched a line of athleisure apparel in the same signature colors that you can wear on and off the court. The garments are comfortable, high-quality, and forward-looking, but still retain their classic look.
There is also a range of accessories such as bags, hats, towels and padel balls. As a supplier to Wimbledon since 1902 (the longest sporting partnership in history), Slazenger knows how to make quality balls and these balls are no exception. Known as the “Challenge One” ball, it is FIP (International Padel Federation) approved and offers you maximum durability and exceptional performance.
