Keep your tennis and padel balls performing for longer with the Pressure Pod MAX™ — an automatic, rechargeable ball pressuriser designed not only to maintain ball pressure, but to help restore pressure to balls that have already started to go soft.

Tennis and padel balls gradually lose internal pressure once they're removed from their original can. As pressure drops, so does their bounce, feel and consistency — often resulting in balls being replaced while they're otherwise still perfectly usable.

The Pressure Pod MAX™ helps fight that pressure loss between playing sessions, keeping your balls firmer, livelier and performing for longer.

Why Pressure Pod MAX™?

✓ Maintain tennis & padel ball pressure
✓ Restore pressure up to 29 PSI
✓ Extend the usable life of your balls
✓ More consistent bounce, feel and control
✓ Automatic rechargeable pressure system
✓ Compact and portable — fits easily in your racket bag
✓ Suitable for standard tennis and padel balls

Spend less time replacing balls and more time playing with balls that perform as they should.

Maintain Pressure — Or Bring It Back

This is one of the key differences between the Pressure Pod MAX™ and many conventional ball pressure systems.

A pressure of around 20 PSI is roughly comparable to the pressure inside a fresh sealed can. This can help prevent a fresh ball from losing pressure, but may not be enough to restore a ball that has already started to go soft.

The Pressure Pod MAX™ can go significantly further — up to 29 PSI.

By pressurising beyond the ball's original internal pressure, the MAX™ can help force air back into balls that have already been played with, helping restore their firmness and bounce rather than simply maintaining their existing condition.

20 PSI = help maintain pressure.
Up to 29 PSI = the ability to help restore lost pressure.

How Does Pressure Pod MAX™ Work?

Using the Pressure Pod MAX™ is simple:

1. Load your balls
Place 1–2 standard tennis or padel balls inside the Pressure Pod MAX™.

2. Close the lid and select your pressure
Close the lid firmly enough to create an airtight seal and select the desired pressure.

3. Let the MAX™ do the work
The automatic rechargeable system pressurises the container, allowing your balls to be stored under pressure between playing sessions.

For the best results, place your balls back into the Pressure Pod after each session. The more consistently it's used, the longer your balls can stay performing as they should.

Important: The lid only needs to be closed firmly enough to create an airtight seal. Do not overtighten the lid. Excessive force is unnecessary and can make it more difficult to reopen.

Why Keep Your Balls Pressurised?

Once a pressurised tennis or padel ball is removed from its original container, it gradually loses pressure. Eventually the familiar lively bounce becomes softer and less predictable.

Pressure Pod states that, when balls are stored in the MAX™ after every session, they can hold pressure 8–12× longer — potentially turning a set of balls that might otherwise be discarded after a few sessions into balls that can remain usable for considerably longer.

That can mean:

✓ Fewer replacement balls
✓ More consistent performance between sessions
✓ Less waste
✓ Lower long-term ball costs

For regular players, coaches and clubs who go through large numbers of balls, those savings can quickly add up.

Ideal For

Tennis players who want their favourite balls to retain their bounce for longer.

Padel players regularly going through pressurised balls.

Coaches and academies using balls across multiple sessions every week.

Clubs looking to reduce unnecessary ball replacement and get more use from their equipment.

And because the MAX™ is compact and lightweight, it can travel in your racket bag or backpack rather than becoming another piece of equipment you leave at home.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 20 PSI and 29 PSI?

Around 20 PSI is roughly the pressure inside a sealed can of balls. This can be sufficient to help maintain the pressure of relatively fresh balls, but it may not restore pressure that has already been lost.

The Pressure Pod MAX™ can operate at up to 29 PSI. By going beyond the ball's original pressure, it can help drive air back into balls that have already been played with, helping them regain firmness and bounce rather than simply maintaining their current condition.

How long do balls last with the Pressure Pod MAX™?

According to Pressure Pod, storing your balls in the MAX™ after every playing session can help them hold pressure 8–12× longer.

In practice, this can potentially mean months of use from balls that might otherwise lose their desired playing characteristics after only a relatively small number of sessions.

How often should I use it?

For best results, use the Pressure Pod MAX™ after every playing session.

Put your balls straight into the MAX™, close the lid to create the seal and allow them to remain stored under pressure until you're ready to play again.

Consistent use provides the greatest benefit.

Does it work with every type of ball?

The Pressure Pod MAX™ is designed to work with standard tennis and padel balls.

It holds 1–2 balls at a time.

Is it easy to take with me?

Yes. The Pressure Pod MAX™ is compact and lightweight enough to fit into a racket bag or backpack, making it easy to bring to the court, club or training session.

Do I need to tighten the lid as much as possible?

No. The lid only needs to be closed firmly enough to create an airtight seal.

Overtightening is unnecessary and can make the lid more difficult to reopen.

Keep Your Balls Pressurised. Play Better for Longer.

Whether you're playing tennis or padel, Pressure Pod MAX™ offers a simple way to get more life from your balls, maintain more consistent performance and reduce how often you're replacing them.
