Play longer and save money

A can of padel balls costs around €5-7. You open it, play two or three times, and the balls are done. Multiply that by 50 cans a year, and you have spent around €300 on balls that end up in the bin.

Most players don't think about it. It's just part of the sport. But the numbers are pretty striking when you add them up.

What does it actually cost you?

An active player who plays 2-3 times a week typically gets through one can a week. That adds up to:

  • Around 50 cans a year
  • €6 per can = around €300 a year
  • 150 balls in landfill

Even if you play a bit less - one can every other week - that's still around €150 a year on something that just gets thrown away.

Stop throwing money away with your balls

For most active players, Pressurebox Pro pays for itself within a season.

The maths with Pressurebox

With a Pressurebox, the same balls can last up to 8 matches instead of 2-3. That means far fewer new cans.

Without Pressurebox: 50 cans a year x €6 = €300

With Pressurebox Pro: around 17 cans a year x €6 = around €100, plus the one-off cost of your Pressurebox Pro in the first year

From year 2: around €100 a year on balls - a saving of around €200 a year.

This is an example based on one can a week at €6 and balls that last up to 8 matches instead of 2-3. Your own savings depend on how often you play.

What do players say?

Jonathan (padel player) has used Pressurebox for three months: "Incredibly happy with it. The balls stay impressively firm and playable for many more matches than before." 5/5 stars.

Jakob (tennis player) used to get 1-2 matches out of a set of balls: "Now I use the same balls for more than 7 matches. A really good product if you want to save money and reuse your balls."

The recurring theme: the balls really do live up to the promise. They bounce like new - for longer than expected.

It's not just about money

Besides the savings, there's a practical benefit: there are always fresh balls waiting in your Pressurebox for the next match. You won't run out of good balls in the middle of the season, and you don't have to remember to buy more.

And then there's the environment. 330 million tennis balls are produced worldwide every year - and almost all of them end up in landfill. Every set of balls you reuse instead of throwing away is a small step in the right direction.

Frequently asked questions

How many times can the same balls be repressurised?
Several times, with a bounce close to new. In the end, it's the wear on the felt that sets the limit - not the pressure.

Do I need to pump it up myself?
No. Pressurebox Pro has a built-in compressor that restores and holds the pressure automatically. Just put the balls in and press the button.

Does the maths work for more casual players too?
Yes. Even a player who opens a can every other week spends around €150 a year on balls. With Pressurebox, that can be cut significantly.
