When we look at them, the padel ball et the tennis ball seem identical: same size, same colour, same texture. However, once on the ground, the difference is obvious.

Less pressure, more control

La padel ball a lower internal pressure than tennis. Result? A softer bounce, less speed, and so more time to playThis feature is essential on a smaller, enclosed lot, especially one surrounded by glass.

Bounce and speed: each to their own style

The tennis balls bounce higher and go faster, adapted to a runs bigger. Padel balls are designed for a more strategic, where you have to play with the windows and master rapid exchanges.

Padel, a touch sport

This slower rebound gives players more control. The exchanges are more readable, the trajectories more predictable. Try playing with a tennis ball on a padel court: you will spend your time chasing trajectories that are too fast and imprecise.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
