What is Padel?

Sports can be a fun alternative to workouts to remain in shape and healthy while ensuring that your mental health remains on track. If you are fond of court games, Padel can make an excellent choice for you to look after your physical and mental health while socializing with other players on the court.

Padel is very similar to lawn tennis in terms of playing styles and rules. However, the size of a padel court is one-third of that of a standard lawn tennis court. It is a racquet game that eliminates various elements of different racquet games, including tennis, racquetball, squash, etc.

The game is usually played in doubles on a mesh court surrounded by glass. The game is straightforward, and even a novice can quickly get hold of a Padel match’s rules.

Players use a low compression tennis ball and a short racquet made of carbon fiber called a “Pala.” The game begins with an underarm service and goes on as long as players manage to play shots before or after the ball bounces off the glass walls.
