Padel balls

Difference between tennis and padel balls

Padel is played with a special padel ball. This ball looks like a tennis ball, but there are certainly differences. Tennis balls are larger and lighter than padel balls. The internal pressure is also much higher at 8 kg than with a padel ball, where the internal pressure is between 4.6 and 5.2 kg. As a result, padel balls bounce less explosively. The type of ball used in padel has a lower pressure, which results in less explosive bouncing and less power when hitting. This makes the padel ball less intensive compared to tennis balls, which affects the playing experience.

Maintaining lower pressure in Padel balls

A padel ball is slightly smaller than a tennis ball and has a lower pressure . This makes the padel ball go slower and bounce less hard than a tennis ball. Padel balls are made of synthetic felt material and are filled with gas for the perfect pressure. The felt layer of padel balls can consist of natural wool or synthetic fibers, which affects the performance and durability of the ball. To optimize the lifespan of your padel balls and ensure that they retain their pressure for a long time, there are a few important considerations you can take into account:

• Avoid exposure to cold: Padel balls react negatively to cold, so storing them in a cold car, shed or similar environment is not ideal. It is best to store padel balls at room temperature.

• Protect from excessive heat: Just like cold, padel balls do not do well in high temperatures. Therefore, if you are playing padel on a hot, sunny day, it is advisable to keep the balls in the shade or in your bag, away from direct sunlight.

• Store the balls in the tube: It is a good idea to store your balls in the tube they came in, rather than leaving them loose in your bag. This also helps to prevent possible moisture problems, which can be detrimental to the quality of the padel balls.

In terms of durability of the balls, for someone who plays a few times a week, they can usually last 2-4 weeks after opening the tube. However, for advanced players who play more intensively with a lot of smashes and longer duels, the durability can decrease as the balls are exposed to more stress.
