Fans are debating online! Some believe that only blue runs should be allowed, while others think that black brings a more elegant touch.
One thing seems almost certain: on the players' side, we are told that the color of the padel courts can influence the playing experience, particularly in terms of visibility and aesthetics.
- Black slopes : They provide a modern and sleek look. They can also improve contrast with yellow balls, especially outdoors. However, they sometimes absorb more heat in the sun, which can make the surface hotter to play on.
- Blue slopes : These are the most common in official competitions (although this has been changing for about a year). They offer a good contrast with the ball, making it easier to see for players and spectators, especially on television.
And you, what is your preference?
