Heritage
VANTA describes itself as an Ireland-based brand that designs and sells premium padel rackets and accessories, and an Irish retailer describes it as Dublin-based.
The brand says it began with a simple question about whether it could create the perfect padel racket, and that its rackets are developed through research and testing with players and engineers.
The name is taken from Vantablack, which the brand describes as the darkest substance known to science. All three rackets have a black finish, and the wider range uses black with red.
The range is deliberately small. The Pro Black is an 18K carbon diamond racket for advanced players, the Full Black a 12K carbon model for intermediate to advanced players, and the One Black a 3K carbon round racket for beginners and improvers.
Beyond rackets, VANTA sells VN-Tournament padel balls, overgrips and the VN-Tour bag with a thermal compartment, and distributes RESET Match compression sleeves in Ireland and the UK.
Marc Quilez, a left-side player from Barcelona competing on Premier Padel since 2022, is the brand's featured athlete and plays the Full Black.
