Our Padel accessories reviews
We’re not saying you need every accessory available to become a better padel player, but there are certain accessories that can help you elevate your confidence when you walk to or in on the pitch.
Below you can see some of these categories of products that Isabella has reviewed. Feel free to contact us if something is missing!
Bags
Padel tennis bags are essential for every player. They come in different sizes and colors, and each one is designed to meet the specific needs of the player. Some players prefer large bags that can hold a lot of equipment, while others prefer smaller bags that are easier to carry around. There are also many different brands of padel tennis bags on the market, so it can be difficult to decide which one is right for you.
Balls
Padel is played with a padel ball. A padel ball is lighter, slightly smaller and has less pressure than a tennis ball. Therefore, a tennis ball is not good for your padel racket. Which padel ball you choose depends on your own choice. The Head Pro S plays a little faster compared to the Head Pro. Both are approved by all international padel federations.
With the Tubo + you store balls easily under pressure. In a few seconds you have pressurized the inner chamber, so the balls don’t lose pressure.
