Macron expands its presence in the padel market with the launch of a new racket collection. This release confirms the Italian brand’s ongoing commitment to the sport through an evolved lineup that continues to focus on technology, performance and premium materials, while offering a broader and more accessible range designed to support players at every stage of their development.
The Macron 2026 padel racket collection builds on the previous range, further enhancing its quality and performance. It includes six models for advanced players, upgraded from their 2025 versions (Hero Pro Power II, Hero Pro Control II, Elite Power II, Elite Control II, Aspire Power II, and Aspire Control II). These are joined by two brand-new additions – Origin I and Ignite I – designed respectively for beginners and intermediate players. Completing the range is the Next Gen II racket, an updated model specifically developed for junior players aged 7 to 12.
As with previous releases, the entire collection has been developed in-house by Macron using proprietary molds, custom-designed and engineered within the brand’s R&D department. The six rackets dedicated to advanced players also feature the exclusive Anti-Vibration technology developed by RHEON LABS, designed to significantly reduce vibrations transmitted to the player’s hand and arm.
Testing conducted by the University of Bologna demonstrated a 23% reduction in vibration intensity and a 30% faster vibration dampening compared to standard rackets. This innovation delivers an effective balance between high-level performance and enhanced player protection, helping to reduce the risk of conditions such as tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow.
