Padel ball pressurizer
Balls go flat the day you open the can. Not in here.
A new can of padel balls is sealed at about 11 psi, the same pressure as the balls inside it. Open it and the balls start leaking air through the rubber. A week in the bag and they are softer. A month and they are dead. This tube is a can you can close again. Drop the balls in, seal the lid, bring it up to 11 on the gauge, and the pressure inside the tube matches the pressure inside the ball. Nowhere for it to go. Play tennis too? Set it to 14. Same ball size, same tube.

How it works
Air moves from high pressure to low. A ball at 14 psi sitting in open air leaks. A ball at 14 psi sitting in a tube at 14 psi does not. That is the whole trick. The gauge on the lid tells you where you are, and the lid holds the pressure until you open it.
Questions
- What pressure should padel balls be stored at?
- About 11 psi. That is roughly what a new padel ball holds, so set the gauge there and leave it.
- What pressure should tennis balls be stored at?
- About 14 psi. A new can is sealed close to that, which is why the balls inside it stay firm until you open it.
- Can I use it for tennis balls?
- Yes. Padel and tennis balls are the same size. Turn the pressure up to about 14 psi for tennis, 11 for padel.
- Will it bring dead balls back?
- We do not promise that. It keeps good balls at pressure between games so they do not go dead in the first place.
- When does it ship?
- This is a pre-order. Stock lands in December and ships from Auckland by NZ Post tracked. We will not charge you before it ships.
