Dioni Ugalde, founder of PadelPROShop, puts **Agustín Tapia** and **Ale Galán** at the top for their influence on padel sales. Figures and reviews published by his shop show that this influence did not begin in 2026.

In the FIP ranking dated September 14, 2026, Tapia shares first place with Arturo Coello. Galán is tied for third with Federico Chingotto, his partner on tour. This sporting context helps explain their visibility, but it does not by itself measure sales.

## Tapia and Galán generate the most sales at PadelPROShop

Dioni Ugalde summed up his view in a video interview relayed on September 19, 2026. He is referring to sales observed by PadelPROShop, not an audited share of the global market. The quote below is translated from Spanish.

> *“The two players who sell the most are Tapia and Galán. They are in a different league.”*

Ugalde also attributes part of that result to the work of their brands. Tapia remains associated with [NOX](https://noxsport.com/en/collections/coleccion-palas-padel-nox-2026), whose 2026 collection includes several AT10 rackets bearing his name. Galán remains the reference player for the adidas Metalbone line, with a [Metalbone 2026](https://allforpadel.com/fr/raquettes-de-padel/7521-raquette-de-padel-adidas-metalbone-2026-ale-galan-8435739405802.html) presented as his model.

Ugalde adds that rackets from previous collections used by leading players remain in high demand. According to him, buyers continue to order earlier editions even after a new collection arrives.

Premier Padel published this clip during the 2026 Miami P1, where Galán and Tapia met in the final with their respective partners.

## The Nox AT10 and Metalbone were already among the reference models

An interview with Dioni Ugalde published in March 2021 already provided a numerical benchmark. The **Nox AT10 used by Agustín Tapia** ranked fourth among PadelPROShop’s best-selling rackets since the start of that season. Ugalde said the **Metalbone used by Ale Galán**, which was outside the top five because of stock shortages, could in his view have entered the ranking with greater availability.

PadelPROShop’s 2024 review extended that pattern. The retailer said **Adidas and Nox led its racket sales** that year and named Tapia’s and Galán’s models among the most requested. The 2026 statement extends that commercial history across several collections.

## Two names that keep selling from one collection to the next

NOX still sells several Tapia-branded AT10 rackets in its 2026 catalogue, while adidas continues to associate Galán with the Metalbone line. That continuity gives both players a lasting presence in retail ranges without relying on a single model year.

The ranking put forward by Dioni Ugalde reflects the view of one specialist retailer and does not replace consolidated data for the entire market. In the figures and statements published by PadelPROShop, Tapia and Galán remain the two names its founder most directly links to sales.
