They had promised us great surprises and they kept their word. Accompanied by many of the professional players of his great team, and with the always great and funny locution of El Negro, the main responsible of this prestigious firm presented us the great revolution and evolution of their blades of the 2015 collection ... Graphene will be the Main character.
Padel World Press .- On Thursday afternoon, 18 day in December, the HEAD stand became one of the main focus of the Commercial Village of the Estrella Damm Masters Open ... And not only because the tennis player Fernando Verdasco passed by and was photographed with the amateurs; it was also for the brilliant presentation act with which the brand showed, for the first time to the public, the 16 models that will be part of its new collection.
Ricardo Fernández, Category Manager of Racket Sports of HEAD Spain, revealed that only three of these blades will incorporate graphene inside, while the rest, in addition to presenting a more than visible aesthetic renovation, will also optimize much better other technologies with which the Firm has obtained excellent results in tennis or skiing.
When explaining the properties of the new component on which they have based their great bet for 2015, he said that graphene is already considered as the material of the future, thanks to its multiple applications in the industry. It could be said that it is not more than a sheet of carbon of an atom of thickness that possesses extraordinary properties. Among them, the most notable are the extreme thinness and resistance (200 times more than steel), as well as its great capacity to drive both speed (as copper) and heat, the latter side of which exceeds to any other known material.
Regarding its application to the world of paddle tennis, Ricardo Fernández stressed that graphene is a material of two dimensions, which allows the use of carbon in conditions of lower weight and more rigidity. Used in the frame of the blade, greater stability and torsional rigidity is achieved without having to use more graphite and, therefore, less weight is achieved. Used on the face of the same, increases the durability against the blows against the ball. The result: an even more powerful, tolerant and resistant blade.
Fernando Belasteguín, very pleased with the benefits of what will be his new 'weapon' for 2015, said: "I wanted to push for them to let me use it in the Masters but it was not possible. The truth is that I think it's a spectacular shovel, maybe the most complete since I came to HEAD and I'm sure that people will like it. It has a greater sweet spot and I've already told Riky that the years go by, that I'm getting older and that every year I'm going to need a softer shovel and help me a little more. "
For her part, Alejandra Salazar told us about her new Zephyr, which she highlighted among jokes that she had to intervene to maintain an aesthetic line similar to the 'usual', characterized by the vividness and intensity of "colors that transmit a lot " To finish, Eli Amatriain showed all his sympathy again and pulled a smile from everyone present, saying: "This year, the Kings will bring me my new gift in September" while Patty Llaguno assured that they keep trying but that she continues resisting "to play with a complete dress".
The emotional words of Kiki de la Rocha, president of ASPADO, who thanked the great support received by her Association from HEAD (who in the Masters have launched the campaign #SmashSolidarioHEAD), they put the end to a brilliant act.
More and more committed and involved with this wonderful sport, the prestigious brand managed to surprise us again. This is HEAD ... The Power of You !!!
