Short answer: if you play every week, buy padel balls by the carton. Buying by the 24-can carton gives you the lowest price per can we offer, and each carton’s product page works out its per-can price and the saving against single cans for you, live. If you only need a few cans, buy 3 or more and the multi-buy discount comes off at checkout automatically.
Ball prices move, so rather than type them here (where they would go stale) we show them live on the cards below: every ball we have in, by the can and by the carton.
By the can
Each can holds 3 balls. Buy 3 or more cans and 3% comes off; buy 6 or more and it is 6%.
By the carton (24 cans, 72 balls)
To get the per-can price of a carton, divide the carton price by 24 — or open the carton’s page, which does the sum for you and shows how much less a can it is than buying singles.
What a carton actually saves you
Take the same 72 balls (24 cans) bought three ways. As 24 single cans you pay the single-can price 24 times. At the 6+ multi-buy rate you save 6% on that. As one carton you save far more than 6%, and each carton’s page shows the exact saving a can against singles on the day you buy.
How the multi-buy works
- 3 or more cans: 3% off the ball cans in your cart.
- 6 or more cans: 6% off the ball cans in your cart.
- The discount applies automatically at checkout. There's no code to enter.
- You can mix and match brands. Three cans of Dunlop plus three of Nerbo counts as six.
- Single cans and multi-buys ship Australia-wide.
Who should buy a carton?
A carton makes sense if you get through a lot of balls:
- Regular players. If you open a fresh can every session and play twice a week, a carton lasts about three months.
- Coaches. Lessons and drills chew through balls fast, and fresh balls give students a consistent bounce.
- Clubs, social groups and comps. Split a carton between a few players, or keep one in the club room for tournament days.
If you play once a fortnight, you're better off buying 3–6 cans at a time so your balls stay fresh.
Keeping a carton fresh
Padel balls are pressurised. Once a can is opened, the balls start losing pressure and gradually play slower and deader. Unopened cans hold their pressure far longer, so a carton is fine to work through over a few months. Store it somewhere cool and out of the sun. A hot car boot or a garage in a Queensland summer is the fastest way to flatten a can.
Why cartons are click & collect only
A full carton weighs over 5 kg, and we've priced it about as low as we can go. Posting it would add enough to cancel out most of the saving. So cartons are click & collect only from Priceline Pharmacy, Pacific Fair, Broadbeach: order online, then pick it up for free. If you're not on the Gold Coast, the 6+ multi-buy is the cheapest way to get balls posted to you.
Which ball should you pick?
- Dunlop Pro: FIP-approved competition ball. A great all-round choice for club and league play.

- adidas Speed RX: adidas Padel's speed ball for a quick game. Also available by the carton.
- Siux Neo Speed: Siux's fast ball, built to resist pressure loss. Also available by the carton.
