Kombat questions
What does Kombat's 'real cost' model actually mean?
The brand sells mainly direct from its own site and spends nothing on elite tour sponsorship, arguing the saving shows up in the price: volcano-line rackets with 18K-carbon faces list around the mid-hundred-euro mark, roughly half typical flagship pricing. The trade-off is the absence of top-tour validation — you are trusting specifications and reviews rather than a star's endorsement.
Why did Kombat build its collection around a YouTuber rather than a pro?
Manu Martín is a professional coach with a large online audience of exactly the club players Kombat sells to, and he co-developed the 2024 Vulcano collection rather than merely lending a name. For a direct-to-consumer brand, a trusted teacher who explains rackets on camera arguably converts better than a distant tour star — it is the influencer economy applied to padel equipment.
Is Kombat related to the Italian Kombat teamwear brand?
No connection could be found. The padel brand is Spanish — operated by Good for Padel S.L. in the Madrid area — and the Italian teamwear company of the same name appears to be a pure coincidence. There are Italian social accounts for Kombat Padel, but these point to distribution of the Spanish brand, not shared ownership.
About Kombat
Kombat's pitch to padel players is arithmetic: strip out intermediaries and big sponsorship budgets, and a full-carbon racket doesn't need a flagship price. The brand — operated by Good for Padel S.L. from the Madrid area and led by CEO Jorge Muñoz — was reported in 2024 to have been founded around seven years earlier, and sells primarily through its own site under the slogan that it is not low-cost but 'real cost'.
Its most visible move came in October 2024 with the Vulcano collection: eight rackets named after volcanoes, from Etna and Teide to Krakatoa and Fuji, co-developed with Manu Martín, a professional padel coach with a large YouTube following. That choice of frontman is telling — Kombat builds credibility through club-level teaching influence rather than tour sponsorship. Its longest-standing player link is Argentine professional Juan Cruz Belluati, who has a signature racket named after an Argentine air-force jet, and the brand reached Argentina through a local distribution venture.
Construction is conventional and competitive for the price: full-carbon frames, faces in 3K to 18K weaves, and EVA cores across diamond, teardrop and round shapes, with recent ranges adding military-themed names alongside the volcanoes. There is no Premier Padel roster and no tour partnership, and the company remains small. For self-sufficient club players who care more about specification-per-euro than a badge seen on television, that is precisely the trade Kombat is offering.
