Early Roots in Tennis (1909–1990s)
Dunlop has been a global leader in racket sports since the early 1900s, best known for its tennis balls (official supplier to Wimbledon for decades). When padel started gaining traction in Spain and Latin America in the late 20th century, Dunlop was one of the first established tennis brands to invest in the sport.
Expansion into Padel (1990s–2000s)
With padel booming in Spain, Dunlop began developing specialised padel balls, designed to differ from tennis balls in terms of pressure, bounce, and felt durability. Their early models helped shape the standards we see today.
Professional Endorsements (2010s)
Dunlop balls gained prestige by being selected for official tournaments, including the World Padel Tour (WPT). Their flagship Dunlop Pro Padel Ball became known for speed, durability, and consistent bounce, making it one of the most widely used balls in competitive play.
Present Day
Today, Dunlop is considered one of the reference brands in padel balls, alongside Head and Bullpadel. The Dunlop Pro Padel Ball is still widely used in professional and club-level competition, while the brand continues innovating with options tailored to different climates and playing conditions (e.g., faster balls for humid environments).
