The difference between Padel balls and Tennis balls

Por un escritor de hombre misterioso

When I was first introduced to Padel, I presumed that Padel balls were the same as tennis balls. I didn’t realise that the balls were different. Padel balls are similar to Tennis balls, however, they differ slightly in size and they have different internal pressures. Padel balls have 11psi of pressure, versus 14psi for Tennis Balls. They are made from the same materials and by the same manufacturers, but the pressure is lower causing less of a bounce. The Padel ball is roughly 8% smaller in size than a Tennis ball. People often wonder why they aren’t the same and why give a ball less bounce, surely that is less fun, right? Wrong, Padel is a lot more fun with the less bouncy balls, if they are too bouncy, it would make it too easy for players to return. Padel
