When it comes to installing padel courts, the playing surface is critical to the overall experience. At Dolan PCI, we offer four premium Mondo playing surfacesāMondo XN, Supercourt X3, Mondo Shot, and Mondo STXāeach designed to cater to different styles of play and player needs. Hereās a breakdown of what makes each surface unique and how to choose the best one for your facility.
Mondo XN
Surface Type: Medium-pile artificial turf with sand-infill
Gameplay Characteristics:
Strikes a balance between speed and control, making it ideal for players of all skill levels.
Sand infill provides consistent ball bounce and sliding performance.
Perfect for general use, commonly found in recreational and competition-level clubs.
Player Experience:
A slightly slower surface allows better control, which is ideal for beginners or casual players.
Comfortable underfoot and forgiving for longer matches.
Supercourt X3
Surface Type: Low-pile artificial turf with minimal sand-infill
Gameplay Characteristics:
Specifically designed for professional-level padel, including World Padel Tour (WPT)Ā tournaments.
A fast-paced surface that enhances ball speed and dynamic rallies.
Minimal sand ensures consistent bounce and reduced sliding, promoting precision and speed.
Player Experience:
Rewards advanced players with faster reflexes and precise footwork.
Offers a premium aesthetic that enhances visibility for spectators.
Ideal for competitive and high-performance matches.
Mondo Shot
Surface Type: High-pile turf with dense texture and added cushioning
Gameplay Characteristics:
Slower pace compared to Mondo XN and Supercourt X3, focusing on comfort and durability.
Enhanced shock absorption reduces joint strain during play.
Designed for recreational or training purposes over competitive matches.
Player Experience:
More forgiving on knees and joints, making it ideal for amateur players or older participants.
Encourages control and strategic play over speed-oriented gameplay.
Mondo STX
Surface Type: A hybrid surface bridging recreational and professional features
Gameplay Characteristics:
Combines elements of Mondo XN and Supercourt X3 for versatility.
Offers faster gameplay than Mondo XN but with more control than Supercourt X3.
Highly durable and resistant to wear and tear, making it a practical choice for clubs.
Player Experience:
Balanced speed and control for intermediate to advanced players.
Less impact on joints compared to high-speed surfaces, catering to players who value comfort and performance.
How to Choose the Right Surface
Hereās a quick comparison to help you decide:
Surface | Speed | Control | Bounce Consistency | Ideal For |
Mondo XN | Medium | Balanced | Good | All levels, recreational clubs |
Supercourt X3 | Fast | High | Excellent | Advanced/professional players |
Mondo Shot | Slow | High | Moderate | Recreational, casual players |
Mondo STX | Medium-Fast | Balanced | Excellent | Clubs catering to all players |
Why Mondo STX Stands Out
For clubs aiming to provide a premium playing experience, Mondo STXĀ is the perfect middle ground. It accommodates both recreational and competitive players, making it a versatile choice for facilities hosting tournaments or seeking to elevate their offerings without the ultra-fast nature of Supercourt X3.
Key Benefits:
Balanced speed and control for diverse gameplay styles.
Durable and suitable for high-traffic environments.
Provides a superior experience for intermediate to advanced players.
