INDOOR PICKLEBALL BALL GUIDE
Balls For Indoor Pickleball Courts
As the weather turns, pickleball players have a couple of choices – either migrate to a warmer climate to keep playing outdoors or move to indoor courts. And that affects your choice of pickleball. The most important thing to remember about choosing and indoor ball is to consider the surface on which you will play. It is what is under your feet and not what is over your head.
Indoor Hardcourt
If your indoor courts are hardwood, cement, padded or even carpet you will want to move to an Indoor Pickleball. These balls have fewer holes (usually 26) and are made of softer materials. All Indoor Pickleballs on the market today are two-piece construction and are designed to bounce higher and skip less than Outdoor Pickleballs. These play characteristics make for a more enjoyable experience on the smoother indoor surfaces.
If your indoor courts have a hard court (tennis style) surface, continue to play with your preferred Outdoor Pickleball. If the temperature gets 65 degrees or less you may want to consider using a softer Outdoor Pickleball like:
