Lab Test Reveals the Best Padel Balls
In new findings for padel players, comprehensive lab testing has evaluated the quality and performance of padel balls on the market. The results, published by Swedish testing- and research company Testfakta, provide invaluable insights for padel players seeking optimal performance and recreation.
– We understand the significance of using a padel ball that performs in the same way over a considerable playing time. Our research not only reveals the top-performing options but also assists players in making informed decisions, stated Bengt Vernberg, spokesperson for Testfakta.
The research, conducted at the independent laboratory Instituto de Biomecánica de Valencia – accredited by the International Padel Federation for testing and quality assessment of padel balls – aimed to compare ten major brands of padel balls available on the Nordic market. Leveraging state-of-the-art testing equipment and methodologies, the study meticulously evaluated various factors including durability, bounce consistency, flight trajectory, and overall playability.
Key findings from the study include:
- Durability differences: All balls lose pressure and become softer during endurance testing, but some much more than others. The researchers simulated gameplay conditions by subjecting each ball to 666 strokes, and performed various compression tests, to determine how well the balls withstood impact without losing performance.
- Large variance: Even though all manufacturers declare similar characteristics for bounce, speed and hardness, there was significant variance between the different brands. Some are very fast, others slow and some bounce considerably higher than others.
- Failure to meet requirements: The majority of balls tested do not meet all of the official requirements for tournament use. But since the deviations are small and the test’s target group is the typical recreational player, these are not taken into account in the overall rating. However, the deviations may be important for the competitive player and are therefore reported separately.
The comprehensive report, available at Testfakta.com, offers an exhaustive overview of the tested padel balls, detailed performance metrics, and expert recommendations. Whether you're a seasoned professional or a weekend enthusiast, this resource could prove an indispensable tool for selecting the perfect padel ball to elevate your game.
