Dunlop is probably one of the oldest brands. It was founded in the 1880s and began as a tire manufacturer. But it wasn’t until the second decade of the 20th century that they started making tennis rackets. They later entered the padel market and were one of the top selling professional brands today. Dunlop also has high profile players from its team, stars of the World Padel Tour such as Juani Mieres, Patty Llaguno and Ramiro Moyano.

Akkeron has become a benchmark for padel tennis in recent years. This brand already has a history of more than 10 years and develops padel rackets that defy current trends. This padel company is characterized by collections of huge padel rackets with different types of materials, formats, levels and play styles. In addition, they could step into the field of ”maximalist” padel rackets as they have hybrid formats that are not seen often and have very eye-catching designs that are far from simple.

One of the best-selling Akkeron padel rackets of the 2020 season was the Akkeron Oro España Legacy R 20. A racket with a round shape that provides manageability and control.
