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 play This feature is essential on a smaller, enclosed lot, especially one surrounded by glass.

Bounce and speed: each to their own style

 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 !
