Can you paddle in the rain?

No, this is not recommended. the main reason for this is because it is not good for your padel racket. In this blog, Justpadel.nl will explain to you why it is not good for your padel racket to play padel in the rain.

Why is the rain not good for your padel racket?

As soon as you start playing padel in the rain, your padel racket will start to absorb a lot of moisture. The core of your padel racket consists of 'foam', this foam absorbs the moisture from the rain. By absorbing the moisture, your racket becomes weaker, eventually causing cracks in the racket blade.

That is why Justpadel.nl advises you to play on an indoor court during rainy days. There you will never be bothered by the bad weather conditions, so you can play padel without damaging your racket.

Can you play padel with frost?

For example, as soon as there is snow on the track, the ball no longer bounces properly. With these kinds of weather conditions you cannot padel in the open air.
