Padel Balls /25 products

Padel balls are the second most important element, without which the game is impossible. Together with the padel racket, they significantly influence the effectiveness of the match. Thanks to a correctly selected ball, you will be able to feel comfort and easily master padel. Regardless of where you are — in Lisbon or any other corner of Europe — the Fun Padel store will provide you with the best padel balls.

What are padel balls and their characteristics

An external look at a padel ball closely resembles a tennis ball — the same color and round shape. Beginners often have a question: can you play padel with a tennis ball? Definitely not, as the specifics of the game include active interaction with the walls; therefore, the main task of such a ball is to be controlled and not too fast. There is a small difference between the characteristics of tennis and padel balls, which significantly changes the feel of the game.

Internal pressure

There is compressed air inside the ball. That is why they are sold in hermetic pressurized tubes — this allows the necessary internal pressure to be maintained until the moment of the first game. Padel balls have lower internal pressure than tennis balls, which makes them slower and ensures a softer bounce. This allows for control of the ball after it hits the wall. The lower the pressure, the slower the ball.

Impact of the coating on aerodynamics and grip

Externally, the ball is covered with felt (wool, cotton, synthetic fibers):

• The more wool in the composition, the better the ball will respond to control.
• Increasing the percentage of synthetics increases durability but reduces controllability.
• Long nap creates more air resistance (slow balls), while short nap makes the ball faster.

Size and weight

Minimal deviations in these indicators, combined with pressure, create a noticeable difference in the game. Size affects aerodynamics and control — accordingly, smaller balls will be faster and more dynamic, unlike heavier ones, which will be easier to control. The weight range of a padel ball is 56.0–59.4 grams. Heavier models will better maintain speed after hitting the wall, while lighter ones will lose speed, requiring more of the player's own effort for a powerful shot.

For 11 years, the brand was the official ball supplier for the World Padel Tour. The Head Padel Pro and Pro S models remain sales leaders to this day and are valued for their perfect bounce stability.

2. Wilson - Official Ball of the 2024–2025 Premier Padel Season

Today, it is the №1 brand on the professional padel arena. By choosing Wilson, you get the same technologies and game feel as the stars of the biggest tournaments. The company is known for its X3 series and Premier Padel Speed. These are very durable balls that maintain pressure for a long time and provide excellent grip with the racket.

3. Bullpadel - Best Price/Quality

The brand's products are characterized by good speed and wear resistance. With high performance characteristics, they often cost less than analogues from Head or Wilson. Bullpadel Premium Pro is a bestseller among club players, known as a fast ball at an affordable price.

4. Babolat Balls - Technology and Personal Approach

Their feature is a high-quality external nap, which makes the ball obedient and resistant to humidity. The brand divides its assortment by purpose into 3 levels:

• Babolat Court Padel - a bestseller for regular training.
• Babolat Padel Tour - these are premium class balls designed for competitions.
• Babolat Academy - for beginners and padel schools.

5. Adidas - Innovation and Modernity

Adidas balls are created for those who choose quality. They combine wear resistance, excellent speed, and precision. The brand's flagship — Adidas Speed RX — is the choice of professionals and advanced players looking for maximum speed and who love aggressive play.

How to choose balls according to your level of play

The higher the level of play, the more requirements appear for the bounce and speed of the ball. To make your choice easier, we have prepared a simple comparison to help you choose balls for your current level:

When choosing the best padel ball, also pay attention to the climate and the court surface. For dry conditions and fast courts, standard Control balls are intended, for example, Head Padel Pro. They provide better control and longer contact time with the racket. In conditions of high humidity, at low altitudes, or on courts with a lot of sand, we recommend using fast Speed balls, for example: Bullpadel Next Pro. They have slightly higher pressure, which compensates for the "heavy" air.
