FIRST LAB / THE FIRST 1,000
PLAY IT.
TEST IT.
SHAPE IT.
Our product testing programme. A place for players, clubs, societies and coaches to help shape WOLF before launch.
WHY WE TEST
BETTER QUESTIONS.
BETTER PRODUCTS.
We’re developing WOLF for beginner and developing players. Before we finalise the racket and sleeve, we want to understand how they feel in real sessions.
What helps you feel in control? Where could the fit improve? We need honest answers, including what you would change.
THE TESTING EXPERIENCE
YOUR GAME.
YOUR PERSPECTIVE.
REGISTER INTEREST.
Tell us you would like to take part. The programme is initially for adults aged 18 or over. An application is not a completed test or a confirmed booking.
MEET ON COURT.
We confirm the location, timing and participation information before your session. Bring your usual racket where possible.
PLAY AND COMPARE.
Try comparable exercises with your usual racket and WOLF. We aim to vary testing order, record the prototype version and keep measured results separate from your impressions.
TELL US EVERYTHING.
Share your experience of control, comfort, fit and movement. Positive and negative feedback are equally useful. Marketing updates are optional.
SHAPE THE NEXT VERSION.
We review the findings with our manufacturing partners, prioritise improvements and retest. Only verified findings will be published.
FOR PLAYERS / 18 OR OVER
BE ONE
OF THE FIRST.
Apply to help shape WOLF. Our prototypes are in development; testing dates will be announced after venue, timing and product availability are confirmed.
BECOME A TESTERRegistration opens after our privacy arrangements are reviewed. An application does not reserve a session or count as a completed test.
FOR CLUBS, SOCIETIES & COACHES
BRING FIRST LAB
TO YOUR COURT.
Help your players contribute to product development. We’re looking to discuss testing sessions with padel clubs, university societies, coaches and player communities.
Tell us your organisation, location and the type of group you bring together. We’ll discuss a suitable format before agreeing any date.

BEFORE
YOU PLAY.
Do I need to be an advanced player?
No. WOLF is being developed for beginner and developing players. Different experience levels help us understand different needs.
Is this a product purchase?
No. WOLF is in development. A testing enquiry is separate from the product waitlist and does not commit you to buying anything.
Can I give negative feedback?
Yes. Honest criticism is essential. Your feedback will not be filtered because it is negative.
What will you record at a session?
We plan to record the prototype used, comparable court exercises and your own ratings and comments. Participation and privacy information will be provided before research begins. Please do not send medical information in an enquiry.
Will I be subscribed to marketing?
Taking part will not require a marketing subscription. Any community updates or marketing opt in must be a separate choice.
Do you already work with clubs or sponsored athletes?
We are seeking collaborations. No unconfirmed partners, sponsorships or events are represented as established.
