About Ale

Alejandro "Ale" Galán (born 1996, Madrid) is a Spanish padel player nicknamed "Galántico" and one of the most decorated left-side attackers of his generation. He held the world No. 1 ranking for three straight years (2020-2022) and is a World Champion with Spain; since 2024 he has partnered Argentina's Federico Chingotto near the top of the Premier Padel circuit. His game runs on explosive athleticism, a big serve and a brutally hard, flat smash from the backhand court. Adidas built its flagship Metalbone line around that power, and the diamond-shaped Metalbone HRD+ 2026 carries it forward with Carbon Aluminized 16K faces, a high-density core and a head-heavy balance made to hit harder and deeper. Padel USA ships genuine gear from within the US.
