1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,940
Hey, Julian & Cesc here and today we have
Lucio Mormile, owner, founder, visionary of

2
00:00:05,940 --> 00:00:09,660
Hirostar, and also Tolito Aguire Manager.

3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:12,390
We are all things padel.

4
00:00:13,890 --> 00:00:15,360
Thank you for having, uh, me.

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,340
I mean, it's a pleasure to be with you.

6
00:00:17,580 --> 00:00:20,995
Uh, we've been connected for some
time and it's, uh, good to to

7
00:00:20,995 --> 00:00:21,195
be here.

8
00:00:21,195 --> 00:00:22,770
Talk to us a little bit about the brand.

9
00:00:22,830 --> 00:00:26,070
I mean, we know Hero, star,
we see it's a great name.

10
00:00:26,370 --> 00:00:28,590
We see Toto using Net Racket.

11
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:29,490
Great design too.

12
00:00:29,550 --> 00:00:29,939
Yeah.

13
00:00:30,030 --> 00:00:30,420
I love it.

14
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,200
Um, talk to us a little bit about
the brand, how the design came.

15
00:00:34,575 --> 00:00:35,775
And how the load came to be?

16
00:00:36,495 --> 00:00:40,095
Yeah, I mean, um, the, the, the
brand, uh, of course evolved

17
00:00:40,185 --> 00:00:42,765
since, uh, uh, the last few years.

18
00:00:43,215 --> 00:00:47,175
Uh, we have been, um, we've
always been, uh, very keen on,

19
00:00:47,175 --> 00:00:50,715
uh, um, having our brand, uh.

20
00:00:51,765 --> 00:00:54,375
Make unique our brand on the market.

21
00:00:54,945 --> 00:01:00,555
Uh, we have always been, uh, very careful
about design and, uh, making sure that

22
00:01:00,555 --> 00:01:04,815
our rockets would look great on the
court because we know that at the end

23
00:01:04,815 --> 00:01:11,085
of the day, um, on an amateur level,
uh, it's very important also to have

24
00:01:11,085 --> 00:01:12,825
a, a good looking rocket on your hand.

25
00:01:12,885 --> 00:01:16,140
So between a very good, hmm.

26
00:01:17,655 --> 00:01:22,305
Very good, but, uh, not so sexy
racket and a sexy racket average.

27
00:01:22,575 --> 00:01:24,645
The user probably will
choose the sexiest one.

28
00:01:24,645 --> 00:01:24,765
Yeah.

29
00:01:24,915 --> 00:01:25,095
Mm-hmm.

30
00:01:25,425 --> 00:01:26,355
Sounds very Italian.

31
00:01:26,355 --> 00:01:26,415
So.

32
00:01:26,505 --> 00:01:27,375
Sounds very Italian.

33
00:01:29,145 --> 00:01:33,285
So the, let's say that the initial
approach is that, uh, even though

34
00:01:33,345 --> 00:01:38,685
I have to say our path to, to
become what we are today, always

35
00:01:38,685 --> 00:01:42,645
went, went in the direction of, uh,
trying to achieve the best quality.

36
00:01:43,035 --> 00:01:43,905
Um.

37
00:01:44,250 --> 00:01:48,060
The best possible quality
at, at a reasonable price.

38
00:01:48,390 --> 00:01:55,260
So connecting all dots together, uh,
pricing quality and uh, uh, having

39
00:01:55,260 --> 00:01:59,070
a good looking racket on your hand,
uh, made all this journey possible.

40
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,510
So how did the merger of, you know,
Toledo in here, sir, come together?

41
00:02:03,570 --> 00:02:06,210
I mean, did you guys develop
these rackets for him?

42
00:02:06,210 --> 00:02:09,840
Did you develop the rackets before you,
you, you know, you worked with him?

43
00:02:10,289 --> 00:02:11,910
How does that whole thing work?

44
00:02:12,210 --> 00:02:18,329
No, no, actually we started the, our
collaboration, um, now three years ago.

45
00:02:18,450 --> 00:02:23,190
And, uh, and it was, um,
clearly a, a bet at the time.

46
00:02:23,430 --> 00:02:25,079
So were you an existing company already?

47
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:25,859
Yes.

48
00:02:25,859 --> 00:02:26,190
Or you were.

49
00:02:26,190 --> 00:02:26,191
Okay.

50
00:02:26,191 --> 00:02:27,690
You were, so you are
already making racks small?

51
00:02:27,780 --> 00:02:30,420
Yes, we were making racks
for a small Italian company.

52
00:02:30,425 --> 00:02:30,585
Okay.

53
00:02:30,660 --> 00:02:30,930
Making

54
00:02:30,930 --> 00:02:31,350
rockets.

55
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,425
Uh, we're still a small company, but
uh, we make more racks than before.

56
00:02:35,425 --> 00:02:35,625
Mm-hmm.

57
00:02:36,045 --> 00:02:41,715
Um, so we started our collaboration,
um, again, like three years ago.

58
00:02:42,345 --> 00:02:46,905
Um, the brand of course had a great
exposure, uh, with him, but it

59
00:02:46,905 --> 00:02:52,005
was actually a big bet for us, uh,
because at the time, um, he was,

60
00:02:52,575 --> 00:02:56,530
um, you know, struggling within
the Mexican League and mm-hmm.

61
00:02:56,925 --> 00:03:02,565
And, uh, uh, not, not having a great
feeling with, uh, rackets and also brands.

62
00:03:03,015 --> 00:03:04,755
So we, we try to.

63
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,320
Show him the way we worked.

64
00:03:07,950 --> 00:03:12,930
Uh, and, and there was some kind of
connection that clicked and, uh, and we,

65
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,990
we started to see a common path together.

66
00:03:15,990 --> 00:03:20,190
Now, was this just originally, was this
just a sponsorship or was this kind

67
00:03:20,190 --> 00:03:22,410
of like more of a merger partnership?

68
00:03:22,470 --> 00:03:26,790
And then did you guys develop a
record specifically for him and

69
00:03:26,790 --> 00:03:29,519
how much input did he, did he
put into to develop the record?

70
00:03:29,670 --> 00:03:29,850
Yep.

71
00:03:30,210 --> 00:03:33,210
So at the beginning it was
just a pure sponsorship, so.

72
00:03:33,990 --> 00:03:37,410
Just, uh, Toledo using hero star rackets.

73
00:03:38,070 --> 00:03:43,829
Um, and actually he just picked up
one of the rackets in our range.

74
00:03:44,220 --> 00:03:50,519
I consider that, uh, one, uh, one
pillar of our philosophies that we

75
00:03:50,519 --> 00:03:56,579
want to keep up very, uh, short, uh,
collection range in order to have, uh,

76
00:03:56,670 --> 00:04:01,620
uh, more clarity towards users on pick
up the right racks for their game.

77
00:04:02,265 --> 00:04:05,505
Not try to confuse them on too
many models, on too many options.

78
00:04:05,745 --> 00:04:05,834
Mm-hmm.

79
00:04:06,165 --> 00:04:10,394
Uh, so he pick up one of the rockets that
we had available and he made it himself.

80
00:04:10,905 --> 00:04:17,414
Um, then, uh, with the time, uh, the
second year also, he picked up one

81
00:04:17,414 --> 00:04:21,105
of the rockets within the collection
and he made it, uh, the one that

82
00:04:21,105 --> 00:04:22,485
he played with for the whole year.

83
00:04:23,205 --> 00:04:26,985
And then when we, it
was clear for us that.

84
00:04:27,345 --> 00:04:30,315
The, the partnership was
having a great success.

85
00:04:30,795 --> 00:04:39,315
Uh, we decided to make, um, uh, let's say,
uh, a unique racket for his, uh, needs.

86
00:04:39,315 --> 00:04:45,585
So both in terms of, uh, um, the way
the racket had built with, uh, you know,

87
00:04:45,585 --> 00:04:49,695
more, um, a stronger heva, uh, form.

88
00:04:50,475 --> 00:04:50,565
Mm-hmm.

89
00:04:50,566 --> 00:04:50,567
Mm-hmm.

90
00:04:50,568 --> 00:04:53,115
Uh, stronger carbon to
allow him to make, uh.

91
00:04:53,595 --> 00:04:59,025
Uh, the best out of his game,
uh, rough surface for him to show

92
00:04:59,025 --> 00:05:00,915
all his, uh, tricks and stuff.

93
00:05:01,005 --> 00:05:03,720
He, he would do it even
without Right, right, right.

94
00:05:04,845 --> 00:05:06,915
He would do it with the other
side of the racket even, for sure.

95
00:05:06,915 --> 00:05:07,755
Yeah, that's for sure.

96
00:05:08,355 --> 00:05:13,995
So, uh, but we try to accommodate
all his requests and, um, and that

97
00:05:13,995 --> 00:05:18,105
was a be the beginning of a new
journey for us because that was the

98
00:05:18,105 --> 00:05:21,225
moment when, when we realized that.

99
00:05:22,815 --> 00:05:27,284
It was not anymore a sponsorship,
it was something deeper than that.

100
00:05:27,885 --> 00:05:32,294
So we developed a, a sub-brand
within iStar, which is Australian

101
00:05:32,775 --> 00:05:36,255
Alien is, it's basically his,
uh, nickname in, on the court.

102
00:05:36,344 --> 00:05:36,435
Mm-hmm.

103
00:05:36,765 --> 00:05:39,195
Uh, in Spanish, the extra arrest.

104
00:05:39,195 --> 00:05:39,405
Right.

105
00:05:39,525 --> 00:05:39,674
Mm-hmm.

106
00:05:40,260 --> 00:05:41,370
And, and he made it.

107
00:05:41,370 --> 00:05:44,820
Um, and, and it's, uh, and it was
very clear how we came up with this.

108
00:05:44,820 --> 00:05:49,320
We were sitting on a table together
discussing how to launch his brand

109
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,610
and, uh, his, his, uh, personal
racket within our collection.

110
00:05:54,330 --> 00:05:56,640
Uh, we knew about the nickname.

111
00:05:56,790 --> 00:06:02,880
Uh, we, I, I suddenly saw his,
uh, tattoo of an alien here.

112
00:06:03,990 --> 00:06:04,470
That's it.

113
00:06:04,830 --> 00:06:06,000
We don't have to look no more.

114
00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:07,260
You know, that's it.

115
00:06:07,815 --> 00:06:10,965
So that, that's how he came up
with, so that's a sister compass.

116
00:06:10,965 --> 00:06:14,625
And also, and also if you, sorry, if
also if you see the, the text here.

117
00:06:18,375 --> 00:06:20,115
Oh, this is also one of his tattoos.

118
00:06:20,265 --> 00:06:20,775
That's cool.

119
00:06:20,775 --> 00:06:21,615
So that's, oh really?

120
00:06:21,615 --> 00:06:23,474
He has, he has one of the tattoos.

121
00:06:23,685 --> 00:06:26,175
So that's a very personal racket to him.

122
00:06:26,175 --> 00:06:27,794
It's something that he has on his skin.

123
00:06:28,620 --> 00:06:33,495
And, uh, and that's how we build the
Subbrand Alien within the Eurostar

124
00:06:33,780 --> 00:06:34,200
brand.

125
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,570
So Subbrand that, so he
participates in that Subbrand.

126
00:06:36,570 --> 00:06:38,580
Is it a different
company than the main No.

127
00:06:38,580 --> 00:06:39,360
Or is it an umbrella?

128
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:39,960
No,

129
00:06:39,975 --> 00:06:42,390
the, the Alien brand is part of Eurostar.

130
00:06:42,390 --> 00:06:42,420
Okay.

131
00:06:43,175 --> 00:06:43,295
Okay.

132
00:06:43,295 --> 00:06:46,560
So it's just a subbrand of
the main Eurostar umbrella.

133
00:06:47,550 --> 00:06:52,350
But more than that, because the brand
was great and, and, and it worked.

134
00:06:52,350 --> 00:06:53,820
Uh, very well.

135
00:06:54,300 --> 00:06:57,210
But more than that, as I
mentioned, we realized it was

136
00:06:57,210 --> 00:06:58,800
more than just a sponsorship.

137
00:06:59,220 --> 00:07:05,370
So we decided from last year to invite him
being, uh, one of the partners in iStar.

138
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,480
So actually today he's, uh,
one of the co-owner of iStar.

139
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:10,950
Wow, that's incredible.

140
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:11,190
Yeah.

141
00:07:11,220 --> 00:07:15,510
So, um, question, so how did you
come up with the NA name, hero, star?

142
00:07:15,870 --> 00:07:19,200
Because it sounds more like Japanese
or, it's a great, great point.

143
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,460
It's a great, it's a great name

144
00:07:20,730 --> 00:07:23,520
and it's spelled differently
than the typical hero, you know.

145
00:07:23,820 --> 00:07:24,450
No, great point.

146
00:07:24,450 --> 00:07:31,320
So, um, initially the brand was called
Hero Without Star, and it was actually

147
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,450
coming from a Japanese TV show.

148
00:07:33,810 --> 00:07:38,280
Oh, so, so you made a, you made
a good, uh, a good point there.

149
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:43,800
Um, but then when things started, and
that was a very beginning to, uh, 2019,

150
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:50,490
uh, and when things started to get, you
know, more serious and I was, needed to

151
00:07:50,490 --> 00:07:55,710
make more investments on the brand, I,
I started to look a bit on the market if

152
00:07:55,710 --> 00:08:00,534
there was, uh, any potential conflict with
the name, uh, before, you know, going any.

153
00:08:01,365 --> 00:08:04,275
Patent registration, trademark
registration, and so on.

154
00:08:04,785 --> 00:08:09,735
So we realized that, uh, there were few
companies with name that could have been

155
00:08:09,915 --> 00:08:12,315
similar, not the same, but still similar.

156
00:08:12,855 --> 00:08:17,415
And so investing money on, uh, something
that could eventually in the future

157
00:08:17,415 --> 00:08:19,185
be claimed or something Gotcha.

158
00:08:19,965 --> 00:08:21,045
Uh, would've been an issue.

159
00:08:21,555 --> 00:08:25,515
So we took an entire summer
brainstorming about the name

160
00:08:25,515 --> 00:08:28,395
without trying to, you know, uh.

161
00:08:28,965 --> 00:08:31,515
Put in the trash, everything
we did with the hero brand.

162
00:08:31,815 --> 00:08:36,885
Mm. Uh, so we wanted to keep that part
and just add some extra piece on top

163
00:08:36,885 --> 00:08:42,314
in order to make the brand feel even
more premium, even more sexy and so on.

164
00:08:42,405 --> 00:08:44,444
And at the end we came up with a GI

165
00:08:44,955 --> 00:08:45,345
style.

166
00:08:45,495 --> 00:08:45,645
Yeah.

167
00:08:45,645 --> 00:08:45,646
Sorry.

168
00:08:45,646 --> 00:08:46,005
Yeah, a great

169
00:08:46,005 --> 00:08:46,275
name.

170
00:08:46,275 --> 00:08:46,665
I love it.

171
00:08:47,325 --> 00:08:49,845
So now let's talk a a little
bit about the rackets.

172
00:08:49,905 --> 00:08:54,075
So what, what would you say is the
difference between a hair star and

173
00:08:54,075 --> 00:08:58,155
a bull padel, or NOx, I mean, why
people should choose this racket.

174
00:08:58,964 --> 00:09:03,135
So I believe today on the
padel racket business.

175
00:09:03,900 --> 00:09:10,110
Um, depending on, of course, size,
weight, balance, and all the, these,

176
00:09:10,110 --> 00:09:15,120
the different element of the rackets,
the carbon, the, the rubber, but the

177
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,500
rackets are pretty much all the same.

178
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:22,110
Uh, not all the same in the way, uh,
all of the feeling because again,

179
00:09:22,350 --> 00:09:22,560
everything

180
00:09:23,370 --> 00:09:26,280
I, I just mentioned can make
a rocket very different.

181
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:27,750
One from each other, from the other.

182
00:09:28,170 --> 00:09:29,520
Uh, if I take the same rocket.

183
00:09:30,329 --> 00:09:35,100
Five grams, uh, um,
heavier, heavier or lighter.

184
00:09:35,430 --> 00:09:36,390
It's a different rocket.

185
00:09:36,449 --> 00:09:36,600
Yeah.

186
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:37,620
It's already a different rocket.

187
00:09:38,130 --> 00:09:42,900
So, but, but what I mean is
that today on the market, there

188
00:09:42,900 --> 00:09:45,120
is no real, this is my belief.

189
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,860
Of course, there is no real
distinction on the production phase.

190
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:54,720
So they're all very similar in terms
of quality, in terms of there, there

191
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,800
someone are better than others,
but overall they're pretty similar.

192
00:09:59,565 --> 00:10:02,505
Uh, so what, what makes them unique?

193
00:10:02,505 --> 00:10:06,555
Uh, and I'm, uh, and I'm proud of this,
for example, of, of our collection, our

194
00:10:06,555 --> 00:10:12,795
player use exactly the same commercial
racket that users can, that, that the

195
00:10:12,795 --> 00:10:14,715
clients can find on the, on the shelves.

196
00:10:14,715 --> 00:10:15,170
In a, in a

197
00:10:15,405 --> 00:10:16,605
so to liters racket.

198
00:10:16,605 --> 00:10:17,925
Is that exactly this one?

199
00:10:17,955 --> 00:10:18,255
Okay.

200
00:10:18,375 --> 00:10:18,825
It doesn't

201
00:10:18,825 --> 00:10:22,665
make any sort of personalization
or customization at all.

202
00:10:22,845 --> 00:10:27,585
Question, um, what percentage of the
record sales are driven by Alito?

203
00:10:28,860 --> 00:10:29,250
Today?

204
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:34,080
Well, uh, 2024 was the first year
that we released, um, the, the

205
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,540
alien racket, which was one racket.

206
00:10:37,170 --> 00:10:43,230
Uh, and I have to say that was
pretty much, probably around 40%.

207
00:10:43,380 --> 00:10:43,680
Wow.

208
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:44,730
Okay.

209
00:10:44,730 --> 00:10:46,530
I, I, for some reason I
thought will be a lot more.

210
00:10:46,560 --> 00:10:47,160
Yeah, me too.

211
00:10:47,250 --> 00:10:48,120
No, no, no.

212
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,170
The, the re the reality is that
the request was a lot more, oh.

213
00:10:52,170 --> 00:10:53,430
The request was a lot more.

214
00:10:53,895 --> 00:10:54,675
Uh, we were not.

215
00:10:54,675 --> 00:10:55,215
Right, right, right.

216
00:10:55,215 --> 00:11:00,165
But it was because of the ex because
of the exposure of of, of toto.

217
00:11:00,705 --> 00:11:01,215
Yeah, of course.

218
00:11:01,215 --> 00:11:02,355
Right, right, right, right,

219
00:11:02,355 --> 00:11:02,356
right.

220
00:11:02,361 --> 00:11:05,145
Well, well, the exposure of Toledo,
the look of the rocket, because people

221
00:11:05,145 --> 00:11:07,305
also love the, the way it looks.

222
00:11:07,425 --> 00:11:07,665
Yeah.

223
00:11:07,935 --> 00:11:08,205
Right.

224
00:11:08,535 --> 00:11:09,345
So, but I think, I think

225
00:11:09,975 --> 00:11:11,955
they associate that with Toledo there.

226
00:11:11,955 --> 00:11:13,995
It's like, it's like as
one, but there, but there's

227
00:11:14,010 --> 00:11:15,090
also many people, you
know what I'm saying?

228
00:11:15,090 --> 00:11:19,125
There's also many people, uh,
in, uh, in less mature markets.

229
00:11:19,650 --> 00:11:22,770
That don't know yet Toledo,
but they see the rocket.

230
00:11:23,310 --> 00:11:24,689
So what percentage

231
00:11:24,689 --> 00:11:25,080
is that?

232
00:11:25,350 --> 00:11:29,640
No, you know, it's a, it's,
Toledo is a, it is a po possibly

233
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,230
the best ambassador for us.

234
00:11:31,710 --> 00:11:33,787
Oh, of course, course we could, that we
could have, uh, chosen in, uh, in years.

235
00:11:34,290 --> 00:11:34,710
You have to

236
00:11:34,710 --> 00:11:35,939
made him, make him a partner.

237
00:11:35,939 --> 00:11:37,830
He was that of course,
in that course, you know.

238
00:11:38,069 --> 00:11:43,349
But, but, uh, but so far he
lived in a. Smaller bubble

239
00:11:43,770 --> 00:11:45,270
compared to all other players.

240
00:11:45,270 --> 00:11:45,360
Sure.

241
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:50,819
'cause it was, uh, uh, part of a another
circuit, which is not the premier pattern.

242
00:11:50,855 --> 00:11:51,074
The

243
00:11:51,074 --> 00:11:51,355
A one.

244
00:11:51,435 --> 00:11:51,675
A one.

245
00:11:51,675 --> 00:11:51,795
Yeah.

246
00:11:51,954 --> 00:11:52,194
A one.

247
00:11:52,214 --> 00:11:52,675
The A one.

248
00:11:52,735 --> 00:11:53,074
The one.

249
00:11:53,074 --> 00:11:53,555
The A one.

250
00:11:53,610 --> 00:11:55,290
So it was very famous, of course.

251
00:11:55,290 --> 00:11:58,050
In all, in everything that
is, uh, south America.

252
00:11:58,140 --> 00:11:58,439
Yeah.

253
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,959
And few other markets where a one as
a, as a visibility, but in many other

254
00:12:03,959 --> 00:12:11,189
markets where Premier Pad as the a
hundred percent of share, uh, it was.

255
00:12:11,925 --> 00:12:13,785
More difficult for people to know him.

256
00:12:13,965 --> 00:12:17,115
Yeah, of course they knew him
from Instagram, from tricks

257
00:12:17,115 --> 00:12:18,855
they see on an online and so on.

258
00:12:19,275 --> 00:12:23,505
But, uh, in terms of visibility that
came from the circuit, for example,

259
00:12:23,655 --> 00:12:25,635
it was, uh, a, a lower exposure.

260
00:12:25,635 --> 00:12:28,185
So now you're getting more
exposure in Premier, of course.

261
00:12:28,305 --> 00:12:28,485
Right.

262
00:12:28,485 --> 00:12:29,175
This is great.

263
00:12:29,355 --> 00:12:33,225
So, so Lucy, so let me ask
you, how was that conversation?

264
00:12:33,645 --> 00:12:38,175
So he was the number one, undisputed
number one in the A one now.

265
00:12:38,729 --> 00:12:39,089
For him.

266
00:12:39,089 --> 00:12:42,869
It, it was sort of like a, a, a
risky bet moving into the premier.

267
00:12:42,869 --> 00:12:45,810
So tell us about that conversation.

268
00:12:45,810 --> 00:12:49,979
You as a manager, obviously, how
the, you guys came up with that

269
00:12:49,979 --> 00:12:51,569
idea, or, or how does that work?

270
00:12:51,569 --> 00:12:54,089
Because our, our listeners
don't, don't know how that

271
00:12:54,089 --> 00:12:56,939
works and, and there's so much talk
about it for the last couple years.

272
00:12:56,939 --> 00:12:58,199
When is he gonna go into premier?

273
00:12:58,199 --> 00:13:00,479
When is he gonna, and
where will he measure up?

274
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,360
You know, saying there was that
huge, like the last couple, everybody

275
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:04,319
wants to see him go there, you

276
00:13:04,530 --> 00:13:04,800
know?

277
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:04,802
Of course.

278
00:13:04,802 --> 00:13:05,580
No, of course, of course.

279
00:13:05,580 --> 00:13:08,400
Uh, it's a question we,
we've been, uh, asked a lot.

280
00:13:08,910 --> 00:13:14,700
Uh, I will not go into the details of,
uh, of the change, uh, because it's

281
00:13:14,700 --> 00:13:16,560
something that it's still ongoing.

282
00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:22,620
So we, we will not, uh, be,
uh, uh, able to, to say more,

283
00:13:22,620 --> 00:13:24,090
uh, more details about it.

284
00:13:24,420 --> 00:13:26,430
But I think it was just a natural.

285
00:13:26,985 --> 00:13:31,035
Uh, evolution, consequence, and
evolution for, for him as a professional.

286
00:13:31,035 --> 00:13:35,475
It, it was inevitable last year when
we started to work together also in

287
00:13:35,475 --> 00:13:40,875
partnership as a me, as his, as his
manager, but considered that we are

288
00:13:40,875 --> 00:13:43,755
also partner in the management company.

289
00:13:43,995 --> 00:13:45,710
So he's also partner
with me in the company.

290
00:13:45,730 --> 00:13:46,150
Oh, okay.

291
00:13:46,410 --> 00:13:48,285
So we, we are doing a
lot of things together.

292
00:13:48,795 --> 00:13:53,805
Um, but when we started the,
the first year, last year, our

293
00:13:53,805 --> 00:13:55,845
goal was clear, uh, was to.

294
00:13:56,655 --> 00:14:01,935
Become, uh, professional padel
players, which has been an issue for

295
00:14:01,935 --> 00:14:03,735
many players over the last few years.

296
00:14:04,155 --> 00:14:10,185
padel has started to grow to get more
visibility, to get more, um, exposure,

297
00:14:10,635 --> 00:14:17,354
but, um, at the same time, uh, players,
uh, needed to grow their professional

298
00:14:17,985 --> 00:14:21,015
and, uh, and, uh, their, um, attitude.

299
00:14:21,255 --> 00:14:21,344
Mm-hmm.

300
00:14:21,584 --> 00:14:23,505
So become more professionals
in the sense that, uh.

301
00:14:24,255 --> 00:14:27,135
Conditioning, uh, nutrition, um,

302
00:14:27,194 --> 00:14:28,245
everything, everything.

303
00:14:28,454 --> 00:14:33,405
Uh, hiring a manager, which is,
which might seem for still for many

304
00:14:33,405 --> 00:14:39,135
players, uh, might look, uh, uh,
something not so straightforward,

305
00:14:39,194 --> 00:14:41,175
but to become a better professional.

306
00:14:41,235 --> 00:14:41,415
Yeah,

307
00:14:41,655 --> 00:14:43,180
you have to let things go.

308
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,969
Uh, and have to, you have to rely on
people that knows what they're doing.

309
00:14:48,180 --> 00:14:48,239
Yeah.

310
00:14:48,239 --> 00:14:51,150
And you have to focus on what
you need to do, which you're

311
00:14:51,204 --> 00:14:51,900
good at, which is the core.

312
00:14:51,930 --> 00:14:52,109
Yeah.

313
00:14:52,290 --> 00:14:52,920
Which is good.

314
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,089
Playing, playing panel.

315
00:14:54,209 --> 00:14:54,359
Yeah.

316
00:14:54,839 --> 00:14:57,479
So, and this is still a
process that it's ongoing.

317
00:14:58,020 --> 00:15:00,569
Uh, it's getting better, but
it's, it's still ongoing.

318
00:15:01,140 --> 00:15:02,640
Uh, so we decided we had to.

319
00:15:03,510 --> 00:15:05,760
Become better players we need to become.

320
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,550
Toledo, of course, is
also a, an event machine.

321
00:15:08,910 --> 00:15:14,609
Uh, Toledo, we, we got requests for events
for Toledo every single day, of course,

322
00:15:14,699 --> 00:15:16,620
in every part of the world, everywhere.

323
00:15:17,099 --> 00:15:21,420
So, so we said, okay, let's do less event.

324
00:15:21,900 --> 00:15:23,939
Uh, let's focus on training.

325
00:15:23,939 --> 00:15:26,370
Let's focus on, uh, professionalism.

326
00:15:26,459 --> 00:15:26,579
Gotcha.

327
00:15:26,579 --> 00:15:31,589
We want to, we want to be number
one in a one, uh, and, uh, and we

328
00:15:31,589 --> 00:15:33,030
want to achieve that this year.

329
00:15:33,569 --> 00:15:34,859
They won at the end of the year.

330
00:15:34,859 --> 00:15:37,319
They won 11 out of 15 tournaments.

331
00:15:37,500 --> 00:15:37,619
Wow.

332
00:15:37,890 --> 00:15:41,189
And, uh, and for at least three
other tournaments they were in final.

333
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:41,579
Yeah.

334
00:15:41,729 --> 00:15:45,119
So it means that they, more than that,
I think it was impossible to achieve.

335
00:15:45,180 --> 00:15:48,540
So we, we accomplished the
goal, uh, a hundred percent

336
00:15:49,199 --> 00:15:50,819
probably even over achieved.

337
00:15:50,819 --> 00:15:52,199
Uh, what was the initial plan?

338
00:15:52,410 --> 00:15:52,619
Okay.

339
00:15:52,619 --> 00:15:53,670
So tell us the move.

340
00:15:53,969 --> 00:15:54,449
Yeah, sorry.

341
00:15:54,660 --> 00:15:59,369
And, and the move we, we did was
part of a bigger discussion and, and

342
00:15:59,369 --> 00:16:01,305
again, not gonna go into details, but.

343
00:16:01,815 --> 00:16:05,535
Yes, at the end of the day,
uh, it was sooner or later.

344
00:16:05,955 --> 00:16:12,555
And, uh, and we thought that for our, um,
for our journey, this was the right time.

345
00:16:12,765 --> 00:16:16,575
And then we moved over to the premier,
that whole thing about the, uh,

346
00:16:17,115 --> 00:16:19,185
about the strike with the players.

347
00:16:19,185 --> 00:16:21,285
So that was kind of luck on his part.

348
00:16:21,285 --> 00:16:24,135
He was able to get in there
and get to the finals, right?

349
00:16:24,495 --> 00:16:27,255
Uh, it was unfortunate that he
didn't win, but his ranking got.

350
00:16:27,704 --> 00:16:29,084
Got better because of that, right?

351
00:16:29,505 --> 00:16:29,745
Yeah.

352
00:16:29,745 --> 00:16:33,314
I mean, uh, we, it was
something very new to us.

353
00:16:33,584 --> 00:16:36,074
Um, also, also, what, what's that?

354
00:16:36,074 --> 00:16:37,155
The first tournament he played

355
00:16:37,365 --> 00:16:38,475
on the premier or not?

356
00:16:38,925 --> 00:16:39,675
Uh, yes.

357
00:16:39,795 --> 00:16:39,975
Yes.

358
00:16:39,975 --> 00:16:41,415
So that was his first, no, no, no, no.

359
00:16:41,655 --> 00:16:44,594
In the past year, he have
also played a few tournament.

360
00:16:44,625 --> 00:16:47,689
Last year he also played,
uh, qualified in Rome.

361
00:16:47,954 --> 00:16:49,035
He played Genova.

362
00:16:49,334 --> 00:16:50,370
He played, uh, oh, okay.

363
00:16:50,415 --> 00:16:51,704
So Malaga, if I'm wrong.

364
00:16:51,704 --> 00:16:53,745
So he played, uh, he
played a few tournaments.

365
00:16:54,270 --> 00:16:57,720
Uh, but not as a circuit,
just as a standalone in order

366
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,130
to start getting points.

367
00:16:59,220 --> 00:16:59,640
Okay.

368
00:16:59,670 --> 00:17:03,600
For the day that we would've make,
uh, eventually the, the shift.

369
00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:10,319
So it was the official start of, uh, of
a journey in, in the premier pattern?

370
00:17:10,770 --> 00:17:11,790
This, this, yes.

371
00:17:11,825 --> 00:17:12,045
Wow.

372
00:17:12,270 --> 00:17:16,440
But in the meantime, it started
also to play fip, uh, FIP Gold

373
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,420
in Portugal, which they won.

374
00:17:18,420 --> 00:17:18,510
Mm-hmm.

375
00:17:18,824 --> 00:17:23,804
They won fifth platinum in Puebla,
uh, last week, and now all can cook.

376
00:17:24,044 --> 00:17:29,955
So I, from the professional point of
view of, of, of the player who organizes

377
00:17:29,955 --> 00:17:33,735
all that, the manager, I mean the,
the trips, the tickets, the hotel

378
00:17:33,735 --> 00:17:36,074
stays, the who, who does all that?

379
00:17:36,074 --> 00:17:37,270
You do all that Or So,

380
00:17:37,730 --> 00:17:43,695
so it, it depends on, um, consider that
until, uh, last year when we started

381
00:17:43,695 --> 00:17:45,584
to, to, you know, make this, uh.

382
00:17:46,815 --> 00:17:48,495
Uh, journey together.

383
00:17:49,185 --> 00:17:53,415
Um, he was handling like many other
players, everything by himself.

384
00:17:54,135 --> 00:18:00,465
So last year we took all the,
um, parts related to events,

385
00:18:00,735 --> 00:18:03,645
uh, to tournaments, and so on.

386
00:18:04,095 --> 00:18:08,505
Uh, now we are also taking all
the, uh, bookings and all the

387
00:18:08,505 --> 00:18:11,685
management of the bookings for him,
for the travels and everything.

388
00:18:11,685 --> 00:18:16,485
Also, because many times that,
uh, matches with the events that

389
00:18:16,485 --> 00:18:19,395
he has, uh, uh, here and there.

390
00:18:19,395 --> 00:18:25,455
So we need to make sure that, uh, uh,
we optimize his travel also because

391
00:18:25,755 --> 00:18:27,610
it's very tiring for him, I'm sure.

392
00:18:27,615 --> 00:18:32,055
Uh, and we need to make
sure to, uh, align, uh, uh.

393
00:18:32,969 --> 00:18:38,639
Everything that is on his agenda in order
to minimize the, the, the fatigue and,

394
00:18:38,639 --> 00:18:43,320
and the, of course, and the, uh, you know,
uh, the effort that he needs to take.

395
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:48,149
Uh, because at the end of the day, the
goal, it's always the same, be more every

396
00:18:48,149 --> 00:18:53,189
day, more professional, every day, more,
uh, competitive on the, on the league.

397
00:18:53,370 --> 00:18:55,709
So give us the juicy
stuff about his planning.

398
00:18:55,709 --> 00:18:56,459
Cancun right now,

399
00:18:56,790 --> 00:18:57,120
correct.

400
00:18:57,615 --> 00:19:01,665
So, and then he's playing in Miami,
or he's not, or he may not be able to.

401
00:19:01,665 --> 00:19:02,085
He might.

402
00:19:02,415 --> 00:19:08,504
So as of today, um, he's not
on the main draw on, uh, Miami.

403
00:19:08,955 --> 00:19:10,395
He's the first in the waiting list.

404
00:19:10,455 --> 00:19:14,415
Uh, well the first on the, on the
list, uh, outside of the main draw.

405
00:19:14,564 --> 00:19:17,715
So he needs to play meaning to qualifying
rounds, meaning that it needs to play

406
00:19:17,715 --> 00:19:22,155
qualified, uh, but at the same time,
if you make it to the final in Cancun.

407
00:19:22,455 --> 00:19:26,325
There will not be, it'll not be possible
because, uh, the two of there is an

408
00:19:26,325 --> 00:19:28,335
overlap, uh, between the two sessions.

409
00:19:28,335 --> 00:19:29,205
So there's a chance

410
00:19:29,205 --> 00:19:30,950
that we won't have to lead to.

411
00:19:31,469 --> 00:19:34,379
The alien, the
extraterrestrial not in Miami.

412
00:19:34,439 --> 00:19:34,889
Correct.

413
00:19:35,070 --> 00:19:35,939
Oh my God.

414
00:19:36,060 --> 00:19:38,580
It's gonna be devastating
for a lot of, uh, fans here.

415
00:19:38,580 --> 00:19:38,879
Of course,

416
00:19:39,330 --> 00:19:40,139
everybody loves him.

417
00:19:40,139 --> 00:19:40,260
He's

418
00:19:40,260 --> 00:19:41,820
got a lot of fans, you know.

419
00:19:41,820 --> 00:19:41,822
I know.

420
00:19:41,822 --> 00:19:42,990
You know, he tracks a lot of people.

421
00:19:43,139 --> 00:19:48,270
We, we have to, we have to look at
the bigger picture and of course, uh,

422
00:19:48,270 --> 00:19:50,310
if he can make it to the final, uh,

423
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:51,719
it's more points, obviously.

424
00:19:51,810 --> 00:19:52,050
Right.

425
00:19:52,050 --> 00:19:52,560
You know what I mean?

426
00:19:52,705 --> 00:19:53,195
Exactly.

427
00:19:53,415 --> 00:19:56,055
I mean, not make it to the
final for us to win it.

428
00:19:56,205 --> 00:19:56,655
To win it.

429
00:19:56,805 --> 00:19:58,215
Of course we don't want to go to final

430
00:19:58,365 --> 00:19:59,534
to just for the sake of it.

431
00:19:59,625 --> 00:20:00,915
Right, right, right.

432
00:20:00,945 --> 00:20:04,544
But, uh, but yes, uh, so we, we need
to do, look at the bigger picture.

433
00:20:04,544 --> 00:20:07,185
If we'll go to the final,
we will fight, uh, to win.

434
00:20:07,185 --> 00:20:07,935
And, uh, that's it.

435
00:20:07,965 --> 00:20:12,105
Well, let's hope that, uh, and
there's no way he can, so if make it

436
00:20:12,105 --> 00:20:14,820
to the found, like he will not make
it guaranteed way to, it's no way.

437
00:20:14,825 --> 00:20:15,284
It's no way.

438
00:20:15,435 --> 00:20:15,735
Nope.

439
00:20:15,975 --> 00:20:17,325
No exception or nothing.

440
00:20:17,325 --> 00:20:17,385
No.

441
00:20:17,500 --> 00:20:18,225
Oh, oh my.

442
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:19,104
As far as that, that's tough,

443
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:19,980
man.

444
00:20:20,010 --> 00:20:20,540
That sucks.

445
00:20:20,685 --> 00:20:22,305
As far as we know.

446
00:20:22,305 --> 00:20:22,635
That's it.

447
00:20:23,070 --> 00:20:23,490
Wow.

448
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,370
So we are, we, we'll see what happens.

449
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:26,790
So now

450
00:20:26,790 --> 00:20:28,920
let, let's, let's go
back to, to hero start.

451
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,670
So tell us a a little bit about
what you have on your hands.

452
00:20:32,730 --> 00:20:36,030
I mean, uh, and, and, uh,
when is it coming out?

453
00:20:36,060 --> 00:20:37,830
Uh, all the goodie stuff.

454
00:20:37,860 --> 00:20:41,580
How, how many in the collection, how many
rackets do you have in that collection?

455
00:20:42,060 --> 00:20:42,540
So.

456
00:20:43,875 --> 00:20:48,821
2025 Eurostar will have a, a
total of, uh, nine rockets, nine

457
00:20:49,020 --> 00:20:49,939
rocket in the collection Rockets.

458
00:20:49,939 --> 00:20:49,940
Wow.

459
00:20:49,940 --> 00:20:54,495
In the collection, including, uh,
a female, um, the first female

460
00:20:54,495 --> 00:20:55,995
rocket, uh, that we released.

461
00:20:55,995 --> 00:20:56,774
Female alien.

462
00:20:57,300 --> 00:20:57,939
No, it's not female.

463
00:20:58,689 --> 00:21:00,540
It's part of the Precision collection.

464
00:21:00,540 --> 00:21:00,820
Yeah.

465
00:21:01,439 --> 00:21:06,074
Um, the alien will, uh,
will have, uh, two rockets.

466
00:21:06,675 --> 00:21:08,475
Versus one from last year.

467
00:21:08,955 --> 00:21:15,195
Uh, because we, we also hear, uh, uh,
our client's feedback, uh, Toritos

468
00:21:15,195 --> 00:21:21,135
Rocket is, it was extremely, uh,
successful, uh, and loved by our clients.

469
00:21:21,420 --> 00:21:23,430
But it was also a difficult
rockets to play with.

470
00:21:23,430 --> 00:21:23,520
Yes.

471
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,020
'cause it was very hard.

472
00:21:25,020 --> 00:21:33,150
The rocket 20 4K carbon, uh, stiff,
extreme hard, um, uh, Eva rubber.

473
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,220
So not for everyone.

474
00:21:35,370 --> 00:21:35,490
Yeah.

475
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:40,260
So we, we decided this year that
we wanted to make more people enjoy

476
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,650
the, the alien, uh, brand, the
experience, the alien experience.

477
00:21:44,024 --> 00:21:47,685
And it was, uh, and it
was, um, the right choice.

478
00:21:47,774 --> 00:21:50,955
I believe we are already
collecting great feedbacks before

479
00:21:50,955 --> 00:21:52,754
the racket has been released.

480
00:21:53,055 --> 00:21:56,385
So this year we will have,
uh, two version of the alien.

481
00:21:56,745 --> 00:21:59,925
Uh, we will have, uh, the Alien
Pro, which will be, can we see it?

482
00:22:00,075 --> 00:22:00,405
Sure.

483
00:22:00,750 --> 00:22:03,540
Alien Pro, which is the, this
is Toledos, this is Toledo one.

484
00:22:03,690 --> 00:22:06,360
So you will use this one and it's, um,

485
00:22:06,870 --> 00:22:07,560
feels stiff.

486
00:22:07,830 --> 00:22:10,500
So what, what is the difference
between this one and that one?

487
00:22:10,500 --> 00:22:14,580
So the, the Alien Pro use a 20 4K carbon.

488
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:14,880
Okay.

489
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:20,790
Which is this, um, and, um, extreme
hard, um, E-V-A-E-V-A rubber.

490
00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:21,240
Yeah.

491
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:21,630
You feel it.

492
00:22:21,630 --> 00:22:23,610
So, so it's a very steep rocket.

493
00:22:24,024 --> 00:22:26,034
Um, and they call this a little bit

494
00:22:26,034 --> 00:22:27,085
different correct.

495
00:22:27,085 --> 00:22:27,655
To that one, right?

496
00:22:27,685 --> 00:22:27,955
Correct.

497
00:22:28,405 --> 00:22:34,345
Uh, the, the pro, uh, have,
um, uh, darker blue, uh, glow.

498
00:22:34,735 --> 00:22:34,915
Yeah.

499
00:22:34,975 --> 00:22:37,044
Behind the alien and behind the logo.

500
00:22:37,105 --> 00:22:37,345
Yeah.

501
00:22:37,764 --> 00:22:37,885
Here.

502
00:22:37,915 --> 00:22:40,975
Um, and, uh, and the alien has.

503
00:22:41,925 --> 00:22:44,146
Uh, you see that one 12 K?

504
00:22:44,146 --> 00:22:45,165
It is a 12 K carbon.

505
00:22:46,065 --> 00:22:47,265
You feel, uh, and a softer and a softer,

506
00:22:48,015 --> 00:22:48,675
you feel?

507
00:22:48,675 --> 00:22:49,005
Yeah.

508
00:22:49,665 --> 00:22:49,965
Oh yeah.

509
00:22:50,955 --> 00:22:55,095
Uh, with a lighter, uh,
lighter blue, um, glow.

510
00:22:55,635 --> 00:23:00,555
Um, there is also one other big
change that we did on, uh, on the

511
00:23:00,555 --> 00:23:06,345
alien, uh, uh, brand this year,
which was we changed com completely.

512
00:23:06,675 --> 00:23:10,815
The Alien logo, the alien
logo from last year was.

513
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:12,390
Yeah, I can see that.

514
00:23:12,390 --> 00:23:12,480
Not

515
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:18,480
unique was a, was an alien logo, which
was yes, designed for him, but in order

516
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:23,070
to fit as much as possible and to match,
match as much as possible is tattoo.

517
00:23:23,370 --> 00:23:26,400
So there was, um.

518
00:23:27,284 --> 00:23:31,695
Let's say possible to find the
all elsewhere a similar alien.

519
00:23:32,055 --> 00:23:32,355
Okay?

520
00:23:32,355 --> 00:23:36,014
So in order to make it a brand,
you need to make it unique, and we

521
00:23:36,014 --> 00:23:38,445
decided to do that in this collection.

522
00:23:38,445 --> 00:23:45,284
So the Alien has been personalized
and has been customized, um, in order

523
00:23:45,284 --> 00:23:46,995
to be unique for, for the brand.

524
00:23:47,565 --> 00:23:50,655
Uh, and it was a very
difficult, uh, exercise.

525
00:23:50,655 --> 00:23:50,895
Imagine, I'm

526
00:23:50,895 --> 00:23:52,695
sure you had 10, 20, 30 different ones.

527
00:23:52,695 --> 00:23:53,390
Which one do I choose?

528
00:23:53,390 --> 00:23:54,855
Of course, I can't figure out 'cause you

529
00:23:54,855 --> 00:23:59,206
need to, you need to change without
disrupting the, the, the, the

530
00:23:59,211 --> 00:24:00,945
image, the brand and, and the logo.

531
00:24:01,275 --> 00:24:06,255
So also there, it was a big exercise
of, uh, of, uh, design that we did.

532
00:24:06,405 --> 00:24:08,805
But we are very happy and
satisfied with the results.

533
00:24:08,835 --> 00:24:09,975
So our viewers and listeners.

534
00:24:10,180 --> 00:24:12,580
When is it coming out and how much?

535
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:13,870
Mm, so so

536
00:24:13,870 --> 00:24:14,980
these are coming out.

537
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,980
At the end of this month, we
will present officially the

538
00:24:17,980 --> 00:24:20,230
racks at Rocket X. Rocket X baby.

539
00:24:20,230 --> 00:24:22,570
We're giving away tickets
to Rocket X. Don't forget.

540
00:24:22,570 --> 00:24:23,170
Yes.

541
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,250
If people go to Racket X,
can they try it out on?

542
00:24:28,090 --> 00:24:28,330
Yes.

543
00:24:28,510 --> 00:24:28,780
Okay.

544
00:24:28,900 --> 00:24:30,070
Can they buy it there?

545
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:30,400
No.

546
00:24:31,485 --> 00:24:31,920
We, we might sell.

547
00:24:32,965 --> 00:24:33,385
Why not?

548
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,220
We, we don't sell, uh,
we don't sell at Rack

549
00:24:35,850 --> 00:24:35,942
X. Oh, okay.

550
00:24:35,942 --> 00:24:36,330
Okay, okay.

551
00:24:36,330 --> 00:24:36,720
Yes.

552
00:24:36,810 --> 00:24:40,465
So now let's say the American market
wants to, so they can try that rack X.

553
00:24:40,889 --> 00:24:41,070
Correct.

554
00:24:41,070 --> 00:24:42,870
So if I go to Rack X, I can try the rack.

555
00:24:42,870 --> 00:24:43,050
Correct.

556
00:24:43,050 --> 00:24:44,760
So now I wanna buy it at the end.

557
00:24:44,820 --> 00:24:47,460
I gotta wait until the end of
March to purchase it Correct.

558
00:24:47,460 --> 00:24:48,120
Before they come out.

559
00:24:48,120 --> 00:24:49,230
Where can I purchase it?

560
00:24:49,230 --> 00:24:50,220
Here in the United States.

561
00:24:50,220 --> 00:24:54,960
So in the United States, we, we
have a distributor, uh, which

562
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,149
works with many different, uh, uh.

Um, clubs and, uh, and, uh,
shops and, uh, e-commerce, uh,

564
00:25:02,790 --> 00:25:03,570

565
00:25:03,570 --> 00:25:05,160
Smash Academy has an e-commerce

00:25:05,190 --> 00:25:06,090

review these and try these.

568
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,060
We're gonna review, I'm sure we'll
like them, and then we'll put 'em to

569
00:25:12,060 --> 00:25:13,440
part of our collection and e-commerce.

570
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:13,980
Of course, we do.

571
00:25:14,294 --> 00:25:14,834
Of course.

572
00:25:15,195 --> 00:25:18,824
So, so for the North American
markets, there are many

573
00:25:18,824 --> 00:25:20,115
possibility to buy the rackets.

574
00:25:20,175 --> 00:25:26,850
Good on no major, um, padel, e-commerce,
uh, Amazon channels, and, um, mm-hmm.

575
00:25:27,044 --> 00:25:28,274
And, uh, shops.

576
00:25:28,365 --> 00:25:30,915
So tell us a little bit, uh.

577
00:25:31,530 --> 00:25:36,150
Where do you see the American market
and how hero stars are gonna attack

578
00:25:36,150 --> 00:25:37,800
or, or get into the American market?

579
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:38,790
What, what is their vision?

580
00:25:39,360 --> 00:25:45,570
Yeah, so our goal last year was
to put a foot on the ground and,

581
00:25:45,570 --> 00:25:47,070
uh, step into the American market.

582
00:25:47,070 --> 00:25:48,270
And, uh, I have to say.

583
00:25:48,870 --> 00:25:50,490
We are very happy with what we did.

584
00:25:50,699 --> 00:25:56,639
Um, the alien racket has been, uh, uh,
bestseller for a couple of months in,

585
00:25:56,639 --> 00:26:01,740
uh, some of the major e-commerce, uh,
padel e-commerce, uh, of, uh, of the us.

586
00:26:01,980 --> 00:26:03,689
So we are very happy about that.

587
00:26:04,064 --> 00:26:07,784
But we need to, we want
to make a, a step further.

588
00:26:08,355 --> 00:26:09,014
Uh, it just are.

589
00:26:09,044 --> 00:26:14,595
Uh, and, and, and I am having a
personal conversation with the potential

590
00:26:14,925 --> 00:26:19,574
investors in the brand, uh, that could
help us boost the American market.

591
00:26:19,665 --> 00:26:21,705
That's our main goal for the year.

592
00:26:22,034 --> 00:26:28,935
We want to, uh, go big, uh, in
the US in order to, uh, develop

593
00:26:29,504 --> 00:26:30,915
the potential that the brand has.

594
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:35,070
Because we know that there is a big
potential behind, and we need to put

595
00:26:35,070 --> 00:26:36,615
it on the ground and we need to, how,

596
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,740
how about the, the apparel, the shirt
alone, the design, and even the socks.

597
00:26:40,740 --> 00:26:44,610
I mean, they're just great, but
it's very hard to, to the choir.

598
00:26:44,615 --> 00:26:44,625
Yeah.

599
00:26:44,790 --> 00:26:44,940
Yeah.

600
00:26:44,940 --> 00:26:47,340
That's, are you going to be
launching on the apparel?

601
00:26:47,340 --> 00:26:48,990
Because I, it's a great design.

602
00:26:48,990 --> 00:26:49,050
Yeah.

603
00:26:49,055 --> 00:26:49,335
I love this.

604
00:26:49,380 --> 00:26:51,120
I think everybody would wear it.

605
00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:51,600
I would,

606
00:26:51,660 --> 00:26:51,870
yeah.

607
00:26:51,870 --> 00:26:57,570
So, so in the first year, uh,
we decided for the sake of.

608
00:26:57,929 --> 00:27:01,230
Being fast on the market
to focus on rockets only.

609
00:27:01,770 --> 00:27:05,399
Uh, but this year, uh, for
sure we will also bring all the

610
00:27:05,429 --> 00:27:07,500
clothing collection, accessories.

611
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,780
Uh, the bags are coming so nice.

612
00:27:10,110 --> 00:27:11,100
Everything is in pipe.

613
00:27:11,610 --> 00:27:15,030
Um, we will be with full
effort on the US market.

614
00:27:15,030 --> 00:27:15,840
We all the collection.

615
00:27:16,379 --> 00:27:18,524
Uh, when, when would you expect,
when, when you expect that to happen?

616
00:27:19,290 --> 00:27:23,850
So bags, uh, for sure will be
available together with the first,

617
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:28,950
uh, batch of racks, uh, end of, uh,
end of March or beginning of April.

618
00:27:29,310 --> 00:27:33,240
And, uh, right after all clothing
collection, consider that we're launching

619
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,760
the new clothing collection mid-April.

620
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,500
So I think with that timeframe, we
will also have, uh, it here in the us.

621
00:27:40,590 --> 00:27:42,180
So what, what is the plan?

622
00:27:42,180 --> 00:27:43,590
I mean, United States is huge.

623
00:27:43,620 --> 00:27:45,000
It's, it's, it's true.

624
00:27:45,570 --> 00:27:46,320
Gigantic.

625
00:27:46,770 --> 00:27:51,780
So what is the plan for you guys to, to
attack the, the grassroots movements,

626
00:27:51,780 --> 00:27:55,680
meaning, I mean, we, we talked to some
people and there are over more, more than

627
00:27:55,680 --> 00:28:01,230
200 clubs coming up this year, so how are
you gonna start with putting in the hands

628
00:28:01,230 --> 00:28:03,150
of everybody because the American market.

629
00:28:03,495 --> 00:28:05,805
They don't even know Toledo,
they don't even know the brand.

630
00:28:05,805 --> 00:28:09,465
So how, how much marketing or
how much push is gonna work

631
00:28:09,465 --> 00:28:11,685
because they know Wilson Head,

632
00:28:11,865 --> 00:28:13,034
of course that's African American.

633
00:28:13,034 --> 00:28:13,730
Too fair?

634
00:28:13,730 --> 00:28:14,175
No, that's fair.

635
00:28:14,175 --> 00:28:14,715
That's fair.

636
00:28:14,715 --> 00:28:17,685
And it's, uh, it's actually what
happened in every new market.

637
00:28:18,105 --> 00:28:22,215
In every new market, you need
to invest on the brand, uh, in

638
00:28:22,245 --> 00:28:24,795
order to, to start, be visible.

639
00:28:25,305 --> 00:28:27,524
Of course, having toto, uh.

640
00:28:27,855 --> 00:28:32,235
It's, um, it's a, a
facilitator for this Yeah.

641
00:28:32,265 --> 00:28:33,435
For this goal because Sure.

642
00:28:33,495 --> 00:28:37,425
When people start to become,
uh, uh, addicted to padel, they

643
00:28:37,425 --> 00:28:41,055
start to look for tricks on the
web and, uh, on, on Instagram.

644
00:28:41,205 --> 00:28:42,885
And that's where TTO kicks in.

645
00:28:42,885 --> 00:28:42,945
Yeah.

646
00:28:43,245 --> 00:28:45,765
Because it's, it's it's nature and, uh,

647
00:28:45,825 --> 00:28:47,415
and making more manageable racket.

648
00:28:47,715 --> 00:28:47,895
Yeah.

649
00:28:47,895 --> 00:28:48,375
Of course.

650
00:28:48,375 --> 00:28:49,755
That the news is also gonna help.

651
00:28:49,815 --> 00:28:50,297
Of course, of course.

652
00:28:50,302 --> 00:28:50,985
It's very smart.

653
00:28:50,985 --> 00:28:51,135
Yeah.

654
00:28:51,315 --> 00:28:56,025
But, uh, but at the end of the
day, the way we believe, uh, um.

655
00:28:56,639 --> 00:28:59,250
We are gonna be on the US market.

656
00:28:59,610 --> 00:29:03,570
Well, first of all, uh, our
distributor has a very solid presence

657
00:29:03,570 --> 00:29:07,560
in the US and it's connected to
lot of clubs, shops, and so on.

658
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:08,760
So that for sure will help.

659
00:29:09,420 --> 00:29:12,930
Uh, but at the same time, we
will be hiring someone locally.

660
00:29:13,185 --> 00:29:17,685
That will be entitled to, uh, be
the, the face, the face of Eurostar.

661
00:29:17,955 --> 00:29:24,585
And, um, speak to every club, visit
every club, visit every, um, potential

662
00:29:24,585 --> 00:29:30,915
opportunity and, and, and, um, facilities,
uh, in order to push the brand, um,

663
00:29:30,945 --> 00:29:32,774
be more visible on, uh, on the market.

664
00:29:33,075 --> 00:29:39,345
And of course, um, uh, full marketing
strategy with the exposure, uh,

665
00:29:39,345 --> 00:29:41,685
and everything in order to, uh, be.

666
00:29:41,970 --> 00:29:48,360
The here as a brand that not only, uh,
as a, a totos racket, we are extremely

667
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:53,400
happy and proud to be Totos racket,
but there is a lot of good behind that.

668
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:53,760
Yeah.

669
00:29:53,790 --> 00:29:57,120
So we want to make sure that we
are here with the full story.

670
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:57,540
Yeah.

671
00:29:58,230 --> 00:30:01,530
So are you guys planning to.

672
00:30:01,985 --> 00:30:07,385
Invest in local players,
uh, coaches, clubs?

673
00:30:07,415 --> 00:30:08,885
I mean, what, what is the idea here?

674
00:30:08,890 --> 00:30:10,565
Or, or other players, or other player?

675
00:30:10,565 --> 00:30:12,905
I mean, do you have any, first of
all, do you have any other players

676
00:30:12,905 --> 00:30:16,385
professionally and how you gonna
do here in the American market?

677
00:30:16,625 --> 00:30:17,045
Yes.

678
00:30:17,045 --> 00:30:17,405
Yes.

679
00:30:17,405 --> 00:30:20,405
We, we have our player,
professional, professional players.

680
00:30:20,405 --> 00:30:21,245
Uh, in Premier Prade.

681
00:30:21,785 --> 00:30:24,455
We have, uh, Salva, which is number 35.

682
00:30:24,455 --> 00:30:29,525
We have, uh, Juliet Abia,
which is, uh, a former, uh.

683
00:30:29,700 --> 00:30:29,760
Uh,

684
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:36,120
sub champions of the world with
Argentina and, uh, and also

685
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,370
around number 30 of Premier Padel.

686
00:30:38,790 --> 00:30:42,900
Um, we have two more, uh, girls
that are joining our team as well.

687
00:30:43,260 --> 00:30:46,260
Uh, so yes, we have more
professional players.

688
00:30:46,530 --> 00:30:49,950
They will be playing in Miami,
so they will, it'll also be, the

689
00:30:49,950 --> 00:30:53,340
brand will also be visible here
in the, in the next few weeks.

690
00:30:53,790 --> 00:30:58,110
Um, but of course the development
of a market also goes by.

691
00:30:58,670 --> 00:31:03,860
Uh, coaches goes by local
players, uh, and, and many other

692
00:31:03,860 --> 00:31:05,060
steps that you need to take.

693
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:05,210
Yeah.

694
00:31:05,210 --> 00:31:09,410
With, uh, we are doing a lot of,
um, club partnerships as well.

695
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,550
Uh, we already have a couple of
active, uh, uh, partnership in place.

696
00:31:13,550 --> 00:31:17,870
We are working on, on a few more, and
there will be more and more coming of

697
00:31:17,870 --> 00:31:22,520
course, when, uh, when the development
of a market comes from different angles

698
00:31:22,730 --> 00:31:24,110
and we want to tackle all of them.

699
00:31:24,419 --> 00:31:24,479
Yeah.

700
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:25,925
That's super great.

701
00:31:26,100 --> 00:31:26,580
That's great.

702
00:31:26,580 --> 00:31:26,820
Yeah,

703
00:31:27,060 --> 00:31:28,020
it's like you have a plan.

704
00:31:28,620 --> 00:31:29,280
This is great.

705
00:31:29,399 --> 00:31:29,580
Uh, you

706
00:31:29,580 --> 00:31:32,010
know, it's, uh, it's, um,

707
00:31:34,709 --> 00:31:38,100
we, but like every other brand,
because it's the same for every other

708
00:31:38,100 --> 00:31:42,959
brand, we are lucky because it's, um,
what's happening in the US happened

709
00:31:42,959 --> 00:31:47,070
already in many other markets over
the past two years, two, three years.

710
00:31:47,070 --> 00:31:47,159
Mm-hmm.

711
00:31:47,865 --> 00:31:52,395
Of course it's not the same because
us, it's an entire continent.

712
00:31:52,785 --> 00:31:55,815
If we, if we measure it to the, to Europe.

713
00:31:55,845 --> 00:31:56,055
Yeah.

714
00:31:56,715 --> 00:32:00,225
Um, so there's more, there
is more complexity behind.

715
00:32:00,255 --> 00:32:00,405
Mm-hmm.

716
00:32:00,855 --> 00:32:03,645
Um, way more complexity behind.

717
00:32:03,735 --> 00:32:07,845
But the way to approach, uh,
the market, it's the same.

718
00:32:07,845 --> 00:32:12,195
So we know what works, we know
what doesn't work, and we.

719
00:32:13,425 --> 00:32:18,975
We also want to learn about, um, the
specificity of the market because

720
00:32:18,975 --> 00:32:22,364
there are market specificities,
which works in Argentina.

721
00:32:22,364 --> 00:32:23,385
It doesn't work mm-hmm.

722
00:32:23,625 --> 00:32:24,584
In, uh, Mexico.

723
00:32:24,945 --> 00:32:27,735
And it works in the UAE of
course, but not in the us.

724
00:32:27,764 --> 00:32:27,945
Yeah.

725
00:32:28,125 --> 00:32:32,445
So, so we want to learn about
those specificities and adapt.

726
00:32:32,715 --> 00:32:35,804
Uh, but we, we know the receipt.

727
00:32:36,104 --> 00:32:39,614
We know we know how much salt
and pepper we need to put it in.

728
00:32:39,614 --> 00:32:39,675
Uh.

729
00:32:39,935 --> 00:32:41,645
In order to succeed,

730
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,695
you know, it's like to make, it's always
about, you know, exactly what to do it.

731
00:32:46,264 --> 00:32:48,514
So I, it's, it's hero start.

732
00:32:49,175 --> 00:32:51,784
Uh, this, obviously it's, it's
a high performance rocket.

733
00:32:51,784 --> 00:32:53,495
It's for, for, for the advanced player.

734
00:32:53,885 --> 00:32:57,215
Do you guys have anything, the
market in the American market's more

735
00:32:57,215 --> 00:33:01,534
beginners, intermediate, you know,
I mean, uh, uh, uh, I think it's

736
00:33:01,534 --> 00:33:05,794
this one that he's, yes, but I mean,
do you have it in the other brands?

737
00:33:05,975 --> 00:33:08,825
Are you coming up with
anything for beginners or, or.

738
00:33:08,895 --> 00:33:12,075
Uh, value racket, you know, females.

739
00:33:13,185 --> 00:33:18,014
And so the full collection, uh,
the only racket that I would say

740
00:33:18,075 --> 00:33:23,775
could not suit, um, an amateur,
um, player, just a beginner level.

741
00:33:24,105 --> 00:33:30,975
It's the, it's the Alien Pro because
it's a racket that it's, uh, clearly.

742
00:33:31,530 --> 00:33:33,780
Uh, difficult to, to manage.

743
00:33:33,900 --> 00:33:33,990
Yeah.

744
00:33:33,990 --> 00:33:37,800
If you, if you don't have a great
end, if you don't know how to hit

745
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,850
the sweet spot and, uh, you don't
know how to, uh, use the racket.

746
00:33:42,390 --> 00:33:48,330
Um, then the pro line, uh, which is,
uh, composed by Blackstone and Redstone

747
00:33:48,330 --> 00:33:52,590
Racket, and I put also the alien, even
though it's part of the Alien collection,

748
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:57,570
the usability of these three rocket, it's
a bit higher than, uh, uh, hemorrhage.

749
00:33:57,900 --> 00:34:00,660
Um, so, uh, they're.

750
00:34:01,110 --> 00:34:03,600
The top performer rackets.

751
00:34:04,169 --> 00:34:12,719
Um, but still, uh, amateur players
or, uh, intermediate players

752
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:14,670
can have great feeling with.

753
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:19,049
So depending on their level of play,
they can find a red stone, which has more

754
00:34:19,049 --> 00:34:21,000
lower balance and a bit more control.

755
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,839
Or the Blackstone with a higher
balance and, uh, and a bit more power.

756
00:34:24,839 --> 00:34:30,000
And, uh, and um, uh, let's say, uh.

757
00:34:31,889 --> 00:34:36,629
Uh, how can I say, uh, a bit
more, uh, a professional touch

758
00:34:36,629 --> 00:34:37,949
of, uh, of, of the racket.

759
00:34:38,850 --> 00:34:39,000
Okay.

760
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:44,399
Then there is a, the precision collection,
which is made, uh, by the solar racket,

761
00:34:44,429 --> 00:34:47,549
the Aurora racket, horizon, and Andromeda.

762
00:34:47,879 --> 00:34:51,239
The four rackets are
for any kind of players.

763
00:34:51,270 --> 00:34:56,339
They, they, uh, the good of
this collection is that players,

764
00:34:56,609 --> 00:34:59,069
uh, that only tried it for, uh.

765
00:34:59,370 --> 00:35:03,299
One time on the first time on the court
can adapt perfectly to the rocket.

766
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,790
They can immediately have
a feeling with the rocket.

767
00:35:06,210 --> 00:35:09,600
So that's a, that's a, that is,
um, one of the collection that

768
00:35:09,690 --> 00:35:13,560
over the past few years have
worked very well because of this.

769
00:35:13,620 --> 00:35:17,040
Because you, you get in the,
you get in the court, you try

770
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:18,180
the racket and you love it.

771
00:35:18,569 --> 00:35:24,060
You, you, you can, uh, uh, you know,
I'm a big fan, for example of the solar,

772
00:35:24,060 --> 00:35:27,450
which is the round rocket, um, that you.

773
00:35:28,395 --> 00:35:32,055
Uh, you basically reduce
your, uh, error rate by 60%.

774
00:35:32,475 --> 00:35:35,384
Really, it's a rack, it's a racket
that, uh, helps you, uh, put

775
00:35:35,384 --> 00:35:38,865
the ball on the other side and,
uh, worry less for it's success.

776
00:35:38,865 --> 00:35:39,399
It's gonna be great success,

777
00:35:41,029 --> 00:35:41,319
Doug.

778
00:35:41,379 --> 00:35:46,245
You can be, you can be top, top, top
10 in the US if you reduce your by 60%.

779
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:48,915
Oh boy.

780
00:35:48,915 --> 00:35:51,154
No, but it's my friend.

781
00:35:51,355 --> 00:35:51,875
Supposed to be my friend.

782
00:35:53,255 --> 00:35:54,154
The friends we deserve.

783
00:35:54,505 --> 00:35:54,795
Yeah.

784
00:35:56,775 --> 00:35:57,355
Oh man.

785
00:35:57,420 --> 00:35:59,250
No, but, uh, but it's, uh, it's true.

786
00:35:59,250 --> 00:36:05,460
I mean, uh, it, um, it really helps,
uh, uh, you play, uh, a better game.

787
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:13,830
Uh, so I believe, uh, every players has
a specific, um, um, aspect, uh, of the

788
00:36:13,830 --> 00:36:15,810
rackets that will suit them, uh, the most.

789
00:36:16,500 --> 00:36:21,630
Uh, also on our website there is a, a tool
called the Racket Finder, which helps you

790
00:36:21,630 --> 00:36:24,630
identify the right racket for your game.

791
00:36:25,380 --> 00:36:31,620
And, and we develop this tool in order
to help, uh, users to, um, reduce

792
00:36:31,620 --> 00:36:33,509
the risk of purchasing a racket.

793
00:36:34,049 --> 00:36:35,880
That is not great for them.

794
00:36:36,720 --> 00:36:37,350
It might be.

795
00:36:37,350 --> 00:36:37,740
That's good.

796
00:36:37,770 --> 00:36:38,430
Is that just

797
00:36:38,430 --> 00:36:40,140
for your records or for all records?

798
00:36:40,230 --> 00:36:40,950
It's for our racket.

799
00:36:41,190 --> 00:36:41,455
Just records.

800
00:36:41,460 --> 00:36:42,420
For now, it's for our

801
00:36:42,420 --> 00:36:42,600
records.

802
00:36:42,884 --> 00:36:46,935
It's on our website so everybody
can, can look at it and, and use it.

803
00:36:47,295 --> 00:36:51,225
And it tells you which racket
of the Eurostar collection, uh,

804
00:36:51,255 --> 00:36:52,785
helps you improve your game.

805
00:36:53,325 --> 00:36:56,685
Uh, we will never tell you if you're
a beginner, we'll never tell you that

806
00:36:56,685 --> 00:36:58,245
the Alien Pro is the racket for you.

807
00:36:58,245 --> 00:36:58,424
Alright?

808
00:36:58,785 --> 00:37:02,025
Even though it's the most
expensive racket, uh, compared

809
00:37:02,025 --> 00:37:03,285
to the rest of the collection.

810
00:37:03,285 --> 00:37:04,154
Oh, let's go over there.

811
00:37:04,154 --> 00:37:05,174
We didn't go over price,

812
00:37:05,685 --> 00:37:08,085
so, and exactly you said we're
lunching at the end of the poems.

813
00:37:08,595 --> 00:37:10,035
Everybody looking forward to it.

814
00:37:10,125 --> 00:37:11,415
Where can they purchase it?

815
00:37:11,714 --> 00:37:12,645
And then how much?

816
00:37:12,645 --> 00:37:13,365
20 4K.

817
00:37:13,365 --> 00:37:14,535
The, this, the, the, the

818
00:37:14,535 --> 00:37:15,944
pro, the, the what?

819
00:37:15,944 --> 00:37:16,875
Retailing for,

820
00:37:17,145 --> 00:37:19,395
so this rocket in the, in Europe?

821
00:37:19,634 --> 00:37:19,814
No,

822
00:37:19,879 --> 00:37:20,714
U-S-A-U-S-A

823
00:37:21,104 --> 00:37:21,975
in the us.

824
00:37:22,035 --> 00:37:25,125
Uh, I can not give you
the final price today.

825
00:37:25,365 --> 00:37:26,654
It'll be a range, but, um,

826
00:37:26,895 --> 00:37:27,375
over 300.

827
00:37:28,065 --> 00:37:28,785
Over 300?

828
00:37:28,785 --> 00:37:29,145
Yes.

829
00:37:29,175 --> 00:37:29,265
Okay.

830
00:37:29,265 --> 00:37:30,915
Not over 400 of, not over four.

831
00:37:30,915 --> 00:37:31,365
Oh, oh, okay.

832
00:37:31,635 --> 00:37:32,940
And how about, uh, this and

833
00:37:32,945 --> 00:37:33,795
this one a bit lower.

834
00:37:34,005 --> 00:37:36,495
This is about 10, 15% lower than, uh,

835
00:37:36,495 --> 00:37:36,915
than this one.

836
00:37:36,915 --> 00:37:40,005
So high 300, maybe low, 300 mid, yeah.

837
00:37:40,005 --> 00:37:40,455
Correct.

838
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,885
And the, the solars and all that, the one,

839
00:37:43,215 --> 00:37:48,195
uh, those ones, uh, stays on
the market are around 200.

840
00:37:48,585 --> 00:37:49,005
Oh, that's

841
00:37:49,005 --> 00:37:49,125
great.

842
00:37:49,125 --> 00:37:49,694
So

843
00:37:49,755 --> 00:37:50,145
it's,

844
00:37:50,145 --> 00:37:50,775
those are very recently

845
00:37:50,775 --> 00:37:51,375
priced.

846
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:56,835
Those, those are, uh, again, the
assumption and, uh, and a bit of the, the

847
00:37:56,835 --> 00:37:58,964
history of Eurostar starts from there.

848
00:37:58,995 --> 00:38:04,035
We, I wanted to, to create a racket,
which was performing on the court,

849
00:38:04,424 --> 00:38:06,464
but affordable to more people.

850
00:38:06,915 --> 00:38:06,944
Mm.

851
00:38:07,005 --> 00:38:08,985
Uh, racket is a, a, sorry.

852
00:38:09,075 --> 00:38:11,115
padel is a, an expensive sport.

853
00:38:11,265 --> 00:38:11,384
Yeah.

854
00:38:11,805 --> 00:38:16,154
Um, so if we could make it a bit more, um.

855
00:38:16,785 --> 00:38:17,654
Uh, accessible.

856
00:38:18,075 --> 00:38:20,865
It's great to, to have
more people playing it.

857
00:38:21,585 --> 00:38:24,045
Uh, it doesn't matter
that we give it for free.

858
00:38:24,495 --> 00:38:29,835
There are costs behind, but um, but we
believe that, uh, for the quality of the

859
00:38:29,835 --> 00:38:34,785
rocket, the design that we put on it,
uh, and the distribution that we put in

860
00:38:34,785 --> 00:38:37,815
place, uh, the price is very attractive.

861
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:38,509
Great.

862
00:38:38,654 --> 00:38:38,924
Great.

863
00:38:39,285 --> 00:38:41,895
Alright, Lucia, do you have
anything else to talk about to our

864
