Head’s Gravity line is marketed for intermediate players. The line is made up of three models with the typical Head monickers: Gravity Elite, the softest model; Gravity Motion, the lightest model; and Gravity Pro, the hardest model.
They all have the same teardrop shape (that Head calls “round”). The differences lie in their weights, surfaces, and foam cores.
The Gravity Elite is made with a fiberglass surface and a medium-soft core, which absorbs the ball upon impact. This will help pass balls to the other side of the court with minimal effort.
We recommend the Gravity Elite for early intermediate players seeking a soft teardrop. Its fiberglass surface and foam core gives it a massive sweet spot.

The International Padel Federation's acceptance as a World Anti-Doping Code signatory places the sport under the same rigorous testing standards as Olympic disciplines — a prerequisite for global legitimacy that required two years of regulatory overhaul with the International Testing Agency.

HEAD and the Spanish Padel Federation just extended their partnership to 11 years — a bet on continuity in a sport where infrastructure innovation, from MejorSet's "Full Panoramic" courts to FIP's youth tour expansion in Asia, is accelerating faster than ever.

As the World Padel League brings Paula Josemaría, Marta Ortega, and Carlos Daniel Gutiérrez to Mumbai in August, Britain takes a different path — backing community-driven events like PadelFest to expand its player base from the ground up.
