Padel Balls

Padel balls

Balls are one of the few bits of kit you keep replacing. A freshly opened tube changes the pace of a match from the first few shots. The bounce is livelier, the game gets faster and it all feels different from balls that already have several hours on them.

That's why many players end up with a favourite brand and buy the same model every time they need new ones. They can look identical at first glance. Once the rally starts, the differences show up quickly.

What affects how a padel ball behaves?

When should you change your balls?

There's no exact number. Some lose pressure sooner than others, and how long they last depends on how many people are playing, how intense the match is and how often you use them. Usually the ball loses some of its life as the matches add up.

Many players spot it in particular moments. The ball doesn't come off the glass the same way, it's harder to speed the game up, or shots feel slower than in the first few matches.

Training or matches

Some players keep new balls for matches and use older ones to train. Others get several sessions out of a tube before replacing it for good, especially if they play regularly all week.

At schools and clubs, it's common to mix both so every opened tube gets used properly.

The most widely used brands

In this category you'll find balls from Head, Wilson, Bullpadel, Adidas, Babolat, Nox, Prince , and other brands that are a regular sight at clubs, schools and competitions.

Each range has small differences in feel, speed and durability, so over time many players develop very specific preferences.
