Dunlop Fort Padel Balls (Dozen)
£19.80
Dunlop Fort padel balls are an FIP-approved ball with a padel-specific rubber core and premium synthetic cloth, sold in cans of three for advanced players, clubs and tournaments. Dunlop pitches the Fort at all players, and retailers talk up an extra bounce against traditional balls.
The bounce claim is not quantified, and Tennisnuts does not say whether the ball is pressurised. Our listing says dozen but does not state the ball count, so check the pack before you order.

What the Dunlop Fort ball is
Tennisnuts describes a premium rubber core, an exclusive core built specifically for padel, premium woven felt or synthetic cloth for durability, and consistent bounce with extra bounce for faster, more dynamic rallies. It says the balls are approved by the International Padel Federation for competitions and tournaments, and lists them for advanced players, clubs and tournament play on all court surfaces.
The same listing says the ball is used at LTA Grade 1 and 2 events in Great Britain. That is retailer copy, and we could not confirm it from the LTA, so treat it as a claim. One other retailer describes a pressurised core, with no figure.

What is claimed, and what has been measured.
Fort or Pro?
A sponsored article in The Padel Paper from November 2025 puts the Fort and the Pro together as the FIP-approved pair. The Fort is pitched at all players, clubs and tournaments, while the Pro is aimed at clubs, leagues and competitions and offers logo printing. The Team and the pressureless Eco are the club and coaching options.
We found no measured difference between Fort and Pro, so choose on the use you have in mind and on what your league requires. Our full range is on the padel balls page.
| Ball | Aimed at | Pick it if |
|---|---|---|
| Fort (this page) | All players, clubs, tournaments | You want an FIP-approved all-rounder |
| Pro | Clubs and leagues | You play competitive matches or want logo balls |
| Pro single can | Trying the Pro | You want one can of three first |
| Fort single can | Trying the Fort | You want one can of three first |
| Fort 3 + 1 offer | Fort with a free extra | You like the offer |
| Team | Clubs, coaches, leisure | You buy for practice |
| Eco | Occasional players | You want a pressureless ball |
Positioning from The Padel Paper (sponsored) and retailer listings.
What is in the dozen
Dunlop sells the Fort in cans of three, and our listing is titled a dozen without stating the count. A dozen cans would be 36 balls, so check the pack at checkout. Padel balls lose life once opened, so a ball pressuriser is worth having if you play weekly.
Who should skip the Fort
Players who only hit now and then, for whom a pressureless ball may suit better, and anyone who needs a published pressure figure. If you are still choosing a racket, our beginner padel rackets page is a good start, and our guide to choosing a padel racket explains shape and weight.
Not for you if
You only play occasionally, or you need a measured pressure and bounce figure before buying.
