The problem with a well-built ski is that if it's working perfectly, you probably won't even notice it. The same applies to a well-designed ski boot. It's so precise that you don't even realize it. That is the most important point. Don't think about the ski, the boot or any other piece of equipment, just focus on one thing - the finish line!

The third stop of the Freeride World Tour in Kicking Horse, Canada, was also the last stop before the two final rounds in Fieberbrunn and Verbier. It was time for the cut. This year the women competed for a total of six tickets for the final. Among the ski men, 11 spots were up for grabs.

Living up to its name, our new BOOM tennis racquet series has had a big impact on expert reviewers across the tennis world.

Just in time for the Olympic Games, two HEAD athletes are on top form: Cornelia Hütter celebrated her third World Cup victory in the Super-G in Garmisch-Partenkirchen on Sunday, her first since 2017. Corinne Suter won the Downhill on Saturday. For the Swiss athlete, this was the first victory of the season.

This was Ashleigh Barty’s time, and the Australian hero seemed to know it. Rarely can the weight of a nation's expectation have been worn so apparently lightly. Ash smiled her way to a third Grand Slam title that looked probable from the first shots the 25-year-old hit on Rod Laver Arena two weeks ago.

In the last Giant Slalom before the Olympic Games, Sara Hector once again confirmed her supreme class in this discipline. With her third Giant Slalom victory this season on Tuesday in Kronplatz, the Swedish athlete further extends her lead in the discipline ranking.

Ski poles provide balance, assist with your turn-timing, improve your co-ordination and are a great way of maintaining speed along flat sections. They help keep you in an athletic and strong body position and are great for dragging along your snowboarding friend who will inevitably get stuck somewhere flat.

When choosing a ski boot, it’s essential to consider what type of skiing you are going to be doing and your ability level.

At HEAD we distinguish our skis between different segments of skiing as each has its own characteristic and style, and we want to ensure we deliver the best possible solution for each segment of skiing.

Here's our guide to finding the padel shoes that are right for you.
