Padel Turf

Padel, also known as padel tennis, is a racquet sport that combines elements of tennis and squash. It is played mainly in doubles on a compact court, enclosed by glass and mesh walls. Renowned for its fast-paced and social nature, padel is accessible and enjoyable for players of all skill levels.

• Accessibility: Padel is easy to learn and play, with less strain on the wrist joints, making it suitable for players of all ages and skill levels.
• Social and fun: Padel is enjoyable and social, especially as a doubles game, perfect for friends and families to connect and have fun together.
• Engaging gameplay: Padel’s fast-paced, dynamic nature keeps players engaged, fostering ongoing participation.
• Cost-effective and easy to install: The low cost and ease of building padel courts make it attractive for venues, fueling its rapid growth in various countries.

• Court size: Tennis courts are 23.77 x 10.97 meters, while padel courts are smaller at 20 x 10 meters and feature enclosed walls that allow the ball to be played off them.
• Racket: Tennis uses strung rackets with a larger hitting surface, whereas padel uses solid, stringless rackets with perforations.
• Scoring system: Both sports share a similar scoring system, but padel focuses on shorter, faster exchanges and is typically played in doubles.

• Court setup: Pickleball is played on a smaller court (13.4m x 6.1m) without walls, while padel is played on a larger, enclosed court with walls for rebounding shots.
• Equipment: Pickleball uses a paddle and a perforated plastic ball, whereas padel uses solid rackets and a tennis-like ball.
• Scoring and gameplay: Pickleball is usually played up to 11 points, focusing on quick net play. Padel follows a tennis-like scoring system, with more emphasis on wall play and longer rallies.

Padel is not typically played on natural grass due to its lack of durability and unpredictable bounce. Instead, artificial turf is the preferred surface, providing the traction, consistency, and durability required for the sport. It also offers a visually appealing court and is the surface used in the World Padel Tour.

We offer both fibrillated and texturised monofilament padel turf, made from high-quality polyethylene (PE) for durability and performance.

• FastPro: A heavyweight turf with strong, curly monofilament yarns, offering excellent resilience and a compact appearance. Its PU backing boosts durability and stability, perfect for heavy use.
• YEII: A fibrillated turf with high wear resistance, ideal for fast-paced play. Its latex backing ensures stability and a consistent surface.

The best turf for padel tennis should have:

• Attractive and modern look: Vibrant blue color with long-lasting stability.
• Consistent ball bounce: Provides uniform bounce for predictable ball behaviour during play.
• Exceptional Durability: Made from polyethene filaments that withstand frequent use and varying weather conditions.
• Enhanced player safety: Superior grip to reduce slipping and injuries, with shock absorption for added comfort.

Silica sand is applied to padel courts to stabilize the turf, ensuring a level surface and preventing the fibers from matting down. This sand also improves the court’s grip, helping players maintain traction and reducing the risk of injuries. Additionally, it enhances the overall durability of the turf.
