Testing your balls
Before a match, you can check the condition of your balls. The bounce test: dropped from shoulder height, a ball in good condition should bounce noticeably; if it barely bounces, it has lost its pressure. The pressure test: squeezed between your fingers, a new ball holds its shape; a soft ball deforms easily. The condition of the felt also matters: a smooth, shiny felt provides less grip for spin. A worn ball slows down the game and makes rallies less consistent.
Choosing and storing
Experienced players prefer fast and responsive balls, while beginners opt for slower balls, which allow more time to position themselves. In cold weather, the ball bounces less; in hot weather or at altitude, it travels faster. A new tube is opened for important matches, and worn balls are kept for practice. Open tubes are stored in a pressure holder to maintain pressure between matches, away from heat.

Frequently asked questions
Padel ball or tennis ball, what's the difference?
The padel ball looks like a tennis ball but it is less pressurized and bounces lower, to suit play with the walls. A tennis ball would make rallies too fast.
How can you tell if a padel ball is dead?
Drop it from shoulder height: if it bounces significantly lower than a new ball, it has lost its pressure. A dead ball slows down the game and distorts the feel.
How long does a tube of padel balls last?
Once opened, a tube loses its pressure in just a few games, depending on the intensity of play. Regular players often open a new tube for each important match.
What is the origin of the brand FZ Forza?
FZ Forza is a Danish brand of racket sports, first known in badminton, very popular in Denmark, before expanding into padel with balls for both club and leisure.
How to store your padel balls?
Keep the tube closed and at room temperature, away from the sun or a hot car boot. A ball pressure holder helps prolong their bounce between matches.
