The PRO range by Icíar Montes represents the ultimate synergy in padel engineering, blending the unrivalled competitive pedigree of a multi-time champion with the historic craftsmanship of Davor Padel.
The court has always been a theatre of precision for Icíar Montes. Long before she stood at the drawing board defining the future of premium equipment, she was a dominant force on the global circuit. In her highly decorated 21-year playing career, she held the World Number One ranking for 12 years and secured 9 World Titles – including 5 in doubles (all with different partners) and 4 with the Spanish national team. She became an undeniable Icon of the sport, revered for her tactical intelligence and surgical execution.
When she stepped off the court as an active competitor in the professional circuit, her hunger to win did not fade; it merely evolved. Taking the reins as the head coach of Spain’s women’s national team, she transferred her genius to the next generation. Her tenure as national coach cemented her Legacy, steering the squad to an astounding 5 World Championships and 3 European Crowns, highlighted by an exceptional World and European “Double” triumph in 2024. Whether holding the racquet or commanding the bench, Icíar proved time and again that she belonged exclusively to the global padel Elite.
The Perfect Combination: Heritage Meets High-Performance
A pedigree this substantial demands hardware of equal stature.
Davor Padel – a historic brand deeply rooted in the sport’s traditions – brings manufacturing heritage and craftmanship tested for over several decades. While many modern padel brands are young startups chasing the global boom, Davor possesses nearly 40 years of structural data on how racquet composites warp, flex, and degrade under intense professional use.
We knew this partnership wasn’t about stamping a name on a piece of foam and carbon. It required pouring Icíar’s lifetime of tactical genius into a physical object. To honour that history, this new range of racquets could never be ordinary. They had to be engineered and crafted for players who demand surgical precision, explosive power, and flawless feel with every single strike.
The creation of The PRO range became a masterclass in premium design, driven by Icíar’s uncompromising standards and Davor’s specialised niche engineering. When the final prototype was unveiled, it was clear that this was not just a padel racquet; it was a high-performance instrument.
