Padel Balls

Frequently asked questions

• What’s the difference between pressurised and pressureless padel balls?

  The main difference between pressurised and pressureless padel balls is the internal pressure inside the ball. Pressurised padel balls are quicker and more responsive, as the internal air pressure helps with the energy distribution off the court walls and glass. Whereas Pressureless padel balls rely solely on the rubber construction, this means that the balls are less responsive and heavier. 

  Pressureless padel balls are best suited for beginner players who need a slower-paced game and for being used for training sessions. Pressurised padel balls are more competitive and allow for faster rallies and a livelier game, so they are great for advanced players.

• Do different types of padel balls make a difference during play?

  Absolutely, if you use a pressureless padel ball and expect a fast, responsive game, you may find the match challenging and slow. Whereas if you’re a beginner player and you use a competitive ball for your first match, you may become overwhelmed quickly. 

  If you are a player who prefers fast play Raquex Elite Pace Padel Ball set would be ideal for you, as these balls deliver a high-intensity gameplay. However, if you’re a new player or a player who prefers slower matches, the Head Padel One 3-ball would make an excellent addition to our kit.
