Padel Balls: The Heart of the Game
The padel ball is a fundamental piece of equipment that directly influences the speed and rhythm of every match. According to the International Padel Federation (FIP) regulations, a standard padel ball must have a diameter between 6.35 and 6.77 centimeters and a weight between 56.0 and 59.4 grams. While these dimensions are similar to a tennis ball, the key difference lies in the lower internal pressure of a padel ball, which results in a more controlled, lower bounce. This characteristic is essential for the fast-paced, enclosed nature of a padel court, allowing players to execute strategic shots off the walls and maintain extended rallies.
The Secret Behind the Bounce: A Look at Padel Ball Materials
Padel balls are made from a rubber core covered in a felt blend of wool, cotton, and synthetic fibers. This specific construction and a lower internal pressure, distinct from tennis balls, are engineered for a consistent bounce on padel courts.
