What Is The Difference Between A Padel Ball VS Tennis Ball?

Tennis balls and padel balls effectively differ only in terms of their internal pressure when new. That being 14psi for new tennis balls versus 11psi for new padel balls. They are made from the same materials, in the same ratio, by the same manufacturers.

1. More Similarities Than Differences

What holds true for the comparison between tennis and padel balls is so similar to most other things that are related on some level.The regulations for tournament legal tennis balls are determined by the ITF while the WPT is responsible for the regulations governing padel balls.

3. Weight Difference

A tennis ball is required to weigh between 56.0 grams and 59.4 grams.

The weight of a padel ball must be between 56.0 grams and 59.4 grams.

4. Internal Pressure Difference

The ITF requires new tennis balls to have an internal pressure of 14psi (8.165kg per 2.54 square cm) when the seal is broken on the cannister during tournament play.

The padel ball must have an internal pressure of between 10psi and 11psi (4.6 Kg and 5.2 Kg per 2.54 square cm)
