A professional padel court surface is not just “grass.” It is a layered engineering system. Each layer has a specific function, and skipping or compromising any layer will affect playability and durability. The standard structure from bottom to top is as follows: Base Layer (Concrete or Asphalt): Must be perfectly flat with a slight slope for drainage. Shock Pad (Optional, Rubber or Foam): Reduces joint fatigue and improves player comfort. Commonly used in commercial clubs and tournament venues. Artificial Turf (PE or PP Grass): It determines ball speed, bounce, and traction. Sand Infill (Silica Sand, 0.1–0.6mm): Weighs down the turf, fixes fibers in place, and regulates ball bounce. The shock pad is optional, but the concrete base, turf, and sand infill are considered essential for any proper padel court. https://pdpadel.com/products/padel-court-components/padel-court-artificial-turf/
