Padel gifts, sorted for Christmas.

For the padel player who already has the racket, three grips and a bag full of half-flat balls. A pressure tube gets used after every game, which is more than you can say for most presents.

Which one should I get them?

Second Set Twisty padel ball pressuriser: a grey see-through tube with the plum and yellow Second Set sticker, on a blue padel court next to a padel racket and three balls

The Twisty · $49

Preorder now · Landing late November

For someone who plays once or twice a week and likes things simple.

No battery, nothing to charge. If they play tennis too, or always with the same partner, the Twin Twisty is $85 with free shipping.

Second Set automatic padel ball pressuriser: a dark metal tube with the plum and yellow Second Set sticker, cut out like a paper collage on a blue and plum padel court, with its silver lid, peaches and padel balls around it

The automatic · $189

Preorder now · First batch of 20 lands in December

For the keen ones, the coaches, and anyone who'd rather press a button than twist a tube.

Set it, press the knob, and it tops itself up. Free shipping.

Not sure? Both do padel and tennis balls. If they mostly play padel and you're watching the budget, the Twisty does the job.

Will it get there by Christmas?

Order by Thursday 17 December and we'll get it in the post in time. Rural address? Make it Monday 14 December, because rural delivery takes up to three extra working days. Those dates work back from NZ Post's Christmas cut-offs.

The automatic is the tight one. The first batch lands in December and there are only 20. If Christmas is a hard deadline, the Twisty is the safe bet.

Can you send it straight to them?

Pop their address in at checkout and we'll post it to them. We only send within Aotearoa New Zealand.

What if they've already got one?

We don't do change-of-mind returns, gifts included, so it's worth checking they haven't already got one. If it turns up faulty, we'll replace it or refund you, and the automatic comes with a 1-year warranty. The details are on returns and shipping and the warranty page.
