How to Make Your Padel Balls Last Longer

How to Make Your Padel Balls Last Longer

If you play padel regularly, you know that balls don’t last forever. They lose pressure, wear out, and eventually need replacing. But with the right care, you can extend their lifespan and get more value from every tube. Here are some simple but effective ways to make your padel balls last longer.

1. Store Them Properly
Heat and humidity are the biggest enemies of padel balls. Leaving them in your car, under the sun, or in damp places speeds up pressure loss and felt damage. Always store them in a cool, dry place, ideally inside the tube.

2. Rotate Your Balls
Instead of using the same three balls for every single match, try rotating between different tubes. This spreads the wear evenly and ensures you always have a set in decent condition.

3. Clean the Felt
Over time, dust and dirt stick to the surface of the ball, wearing it down faster. Wiping the balls gently with a damp cloth after a session helps keep the felt fresh and responsive.

4. Use Them for Training After Matches
Even when balls are no longer “match quality,” they’re still useful. Use them for warm-ups, feeding drills, or practicing serves. This way, you get maximum use before replacing them.

5. Invest in Quality Balls
No matter how well you care for them, low-quality balls simply won’t last. That’s why choosing a brand like PADOX, engineered for durability and consistent pressure, makes a real difference.

At PADOX, we design our balls with longevity in mind. They’re tested to maintain pressure longer and resist wear from repeated play. This means fewer replacements, more hours on court, and better value for your money.

By following these tips, you can enjoy longer-lasting performance from your padel balls and make every rally count. After all, quality care combined with quality design is the ultimate way to save money and keep your game sharp.
