SUSTAINABILITY

Tennis and padel are two of the most polluting sports in the world.

We want to change that. Every day, millions of tennis and padel balls are discarded, even though they are technically still playable. At Balcour, we create solutions that extend the life of the balls and make your game greener - without compromising on performance.

Two ways to use a ball tube

The difference between an average player and a player with a Pressurebox is not just financial. It's measurable in waste.

WITHOUT PRESSURE BOX

The traditional path

  • Balls lose pressure after a few hours
  • New tubes are bought again and again
  • Old balls end up in the trash

  • Only 2% are recycled
WITH PRESSUREBOX

The smarter way

  • Balls hold pressure up to 8x longer
