Drop Shot is a Spanish padel specialist founded in 2009 by Marcelo Cascabelo, an Argentine-born former Olympic steeplechase athlete who had spent years inside the sport's supply chain before launching the brand. Built exclusively around padel from day one, the company grew without a tennis parent brand or licensing structure behind it, reaching more than 20 countries inside its first decade.

Juan Martín Díaz, one of the most decorated players in padel history, joined Drop Shot early and shaped the direction of its flagship lineup. The Conqueror series, developed around his game, became one of the best-selling racket families in the sport's history. Díaz now serves as a product advisor to the brand, continuing to influence development well after his playing peak.

The 2026 collection spans round control frames to teardrop attack molds, with 24K Twill carbon faces on the top tier and graduated EVA densities through the range. Harder cores appear in the control-oriented Conqueror family; softer compounds and foam constructions feature in the power-forward lines such as the Axion Attack and Cyber Attack. Drop Shot has expanded into beach tennis and pickleball alongside padel, but racket development in padel remains the centre of the business.
