It is important to know that the quality of tennis and padel balls influences their condition and recovery. Can old balls be recovered? Yes, but it is a slow and tedious procedure. We recommend that you start using our products with new balls. In this way, they will always be kept in perfect condition.
We also recommend that you pressurise your balls right after every game or training session. Inactivity, along with cold, are the main causes of ball pressure loss. How many hours do the balls have to be pressurised? There is no set time. Just leave them to pressurise between matches.
How long will the balls last using HEAD PRESSURIZERS? It depends on the quality of the balls and how they are used. It must be taken into account that the rubber acts like a spring and weakens with impacts. Balls also lose their pile over time. For this reason, even if the pressure remains intact, there will come a time when the balls will have to be changed again. Even so, we can assure you that your balls will last up to four times longer!
HEAD X3 PUMP / HEAD X4 PUMP
Initial recommendation: If you want to fill a new, unused ball with air, open the ball can 48 hours before playing and pressurise the balls to 29 PSI. As they are new, they will withstand a higher push pressure almost without deforming.
How much pressure to give? Our recommendation is to give a pressure of 29 PSI. to your balls after each use for maximum pressure.
How long to pressurise? Don't worry about the time between each pressurisation. The important thing is that from the time you finish playing until the next use, no matter how long it takes, the balls must be pressurised.
You should bear in mind: Inactivity and cold are the main causes of air loss (pressure) in the balls.
HEAD X100 BASKET
Initial recommendation: To find out the ideal pressure for your HEAD X100 BASKET, add air with a pump or compressor until the safety valve, which is regulated between 21 and 27 PSI, pops up. Memorise the PSI mark at which the safety valve has tripped so that you know what pressure to set the next time you use the product.
Remember that when the safety valve trips, the air will be eliminated, reducing the pressure to 13 PSI. For this reason, you will have to reintroduce air up to the limit set by the safety valve.
How much pressure to give? Our recommendation is to give a pressure of 21 PSI. to your balls after each use to achieve maximum pressure and prevent the rubber from suffering. This will provide a better bounce for a longer period of time.
How long to pressurise? Don't worry about the time between each pressurisation. The important thing is that from the time you finish playing until the next use, no matter how long it takes, the balls must be pressurised.
You should bear in mind: Inactivity and cold are the main causes of air loss (pressure) in the balls.
The best of HEAD X100 BASKET: HEAD X100 BASKET does not allow more pressure than the safety valve, so the rubber will maintain a cleaner and more homogeneous rebound for much longer.
RECOMMENDED PRESSURES:
- BALL SLOW ->11 PSI.
- BALL MEDIA -> 15PSI.
- BALL HALF-FAST ->24 PSI
- BALL FAST -> 29 PSI
Recommendations HEAD X3 PUMP and HEAD X4 PUMP:
- We recommend pressurising the balls to 29 PSI.
- All new balls have a pressure between 11.5 and 13.5 PSI.
- Any pressure above 14 PSI causes the balls to regain pressure.
- The balls gradually recover their pressure through the pores of the rubber, just as with pressure loss. The more air they need, the longer they take to recover.
- Watch out! If you put too much pressure on the ball, it is possible that the ball will crack and break.
- New balls are sold with different pressures inside the tubes. HEAD PRESSURIZERS equalize the pressure of all balls.
- Balls that regain their pressure can grow in size.
- The rebound of the balls is thanks to the rubber, which has a spring effect. Gradually this material weakens and loses quality, so that over time the pressure will be maintained but the bounce will worsen.
Recommendations HEAD X100 BASKET:
HEAD X100 BASKET is recommended for tennis and padel professionals, such as schools, clubs and instructors. It is a high-capacity pressuriser that recovers the pressure of 103 balls at a time, and allows the course to be completed with just two crates of balls.
The strength of the HEAD X100 BASKET is that it cannot be pressurised beyond the pressure regulated by the safety valve, between 20 and 25 PSI, the rubber stays in better condition for longer, offering a cleaner and more homogeneous rebound for months.
Do training balls lose the same pressure as match balls? No. Firstly, because they spread the impacts over more balls. And secondly, because the training balls are in constant motion from Monday to Friday, or at weekends.
This is why the air molecules are active, so the air stays inside the ball longer. It should be remembered that inactivity is the main cause of air removal from the ball. It is very important that they regain their pressure but that the rubber is not damaged and suffers.
Various studies show that the rebound and compression quality of pressurised balls improved exponentially. compared to those that are not.
DO YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION?
- The cold or heat, the altitude, the level of play, the sport played (tennis or padel), the frequency, the level of play, the number of impacts, the quality of the rubber or the surface on which the sport is played can vary the pressure needs to be given to pressurisers.
- Watch out! Pressurisers with a pressure injection system by means of a pump can be pressurised much more than recommended, but this is detrimental to the balls.
- The problem of pressurising balls to high levels is that they can become hollow and will then have a bad bounce.
