Sand on padel courts is essential for proper play and court maintenance. By adding sand to the surface of the court, it helps reduce wear and tear and improves performance. Not only does this add friction between the surface, but it gives players greater control over their shots. Furthermore, the sand provides cushioning, making the playing surface softer and reducing injury to players' feet when running around the court. Utilizing a combination of materials such as clay and silica helps keep moisture levels low so that dust doesn't become a problem. While these tasks may seem trivial, they are all necessary components in providing an optimal playing experience on padel courts.
