The main difference is that padel balls have a lower internal pressure, which ensures a lower and more controlled ball bounce on a smaller court.
Is it possible to restore the pressure in padel balls?
Yes, there are special pressurizers for this purpose (for example, Pascal Box or TuboPlus), which allow you to maintain or restore the pressure in the balls after a game.
When should a padel ball be replaced?
A ball should be replaced when it loses its elasticity, becomes too soft to the touch, or its felt (nap) becomes significantly frayed, which slows down its flight.
Which padel balls last longest?
Pro-level pressurised balls such as Head Padel Pro or Nox Pro Titanium keep their bounce for longer than budget balls. Even so, most players notice a drop in pressure after 2–4 matches.
How many balls come in a tube?
A standard tube contains three pressurised balls, enough for one match. For regular players, buying several tubes at once is usually more convenient.
