Padel is an indoor racket game that combines the best of badminton, tennis and squash into a court that's slightly smaller than your average tennis court. It is mostly played in doubles. There are two players per team.

This game allows you to stay fit while having fun with your family or friends! It is simple to learn but requires a lifetime to perfect.

The Rules of the Game

Padel's rules are very similar to tennis', but some significant differences exist. The most notable differences are the side and back wall, the serving only underhand, and the point known as the golden point.

Scoring and Gameplay

The padel game is played with five points, just like tennis. The player with the highest score wins the set. A match is made up of the three best sets. If there is no tie in a given set, then the next point will be known as the Golden Point. This determines who wins.

How to Choose a Padel Racket

When choosing a padel racket, you should consider the balance between hitting power and ball control. In order to achieve this, the rigidity and weight of the racquet are important. Harder surfaces improve ball control, but they also offer less power and wear your arm out faster. Softer hitting surfaces offer more speed, but are also more flexible.

What is the difference between Padel and Croquet?

The biggest difference between croquet and padel is the smaller size of the balls. The padel ball has the same size as a tennis, but has a shorter handle. It also has a thin wall at the bottom.

Can I hit my own back wall with a padel?

You can bounce the ball on your side of the court before you hit it. If you bounce a ball on your side and then strike it into an opponent's corner, this is considered a mistake and a point is given to the opposite team.
