Padel Court Surfaces in 2024: Textured Monofilament Synthetic Turf vs. ZeroS
Padel Court Surfaces in 2024Index
The surface of a padel court has become increasingly important in recent times, becoming a factor that should by no means be left on the back burner, both from the point of view of the players and the padel club managers.
In fact, players' habits have changed, and if in the beginning amateur padel was composed mostly of former tennis players used to long movements and sliding to reach a ball as on clay, now we are facing a totally different scenario, with players who over the years have refined their technique and are looking for a surface that allows them to perform the short and quick changes of direction typical of padel with maximum grip and comfort.
On the other side, but of no less importance, are the padel clubs, who have understood both the importance of offering their customers a product that is state-of-the-art and in step with the times and the player's needs, but also a type of surface that ensures them a long life and as little maintenance as possible.
In the panorama of padel courts, there are mainly two solutions that are getting the most buzz at the moment: on the one hand, textured monofilament synthetic turf and on the other hand, our ZeroS, the world's first completely sand-free padel mat.
What are the features that set them apart?
Let's find out together!
Differences between Textured Synthetic Turf and ZeroSIndex
On a technical level, both of these types of surfaces are composed of textured filaments, but in the case of ZeroS they are much denser and a little lower in height so as to allow perfectly smooth bounce without the need to be clogged with sand.Playability on Textured Synthetic Turf and ZeroSIndex
Both surfaces, ensure excellent foot adhesion and perfect elastic response to shock. Regarding ball bounce, both meet the parameters of the IPF but in the case of ZeroS you will always get a perfect bounce at every point of the court thanks to the absence of sand and thanks to the fact that being glued to the ground prevents the formation of bubbles or wrinkles in the carpet.Maintenance of Textured Synthetic Turf and ZeroS Index
Regarding maintenance, in addition to the aforementioned prevention from bubbles or wrinkles in the carpet due to temperature changes, ZeroS guarantees clubs a surface with a longer lifespan due to the absence of abrasion between sand and shoes, which tends to wear out the carpet. In addition to this, there will be no need to brush and redistribute the sand to ensure uniformity of the surface.
Permeability of Textured Synthetic Turf and ZeroSIndex
Being completely free of latex backing, rainwater is able to drain off in a matter of moments on ZeroS, allowing it to dry quickly and preventing water from pooling inside, thus creating mold or moss on the surfaces.
In short, these are the two solutions for padel court surfaces that have been conquering the industry and the hearts of thousands of fans in recent times. Now it's up to you to choose the one that best suits your needs.
