What Is Padel?
Padel is a racket sport played in doubles on an enclosed court with walls. It combines elements of tennis and squash and is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world.
Padel Rules: How the Game Works
Padel rules are simple to learn. Played in doubles on an enclosed court, the game uses tennis scoring and allows the ball to bounce off walls after hitting the ground.
Padel Equipment: What You Need to Play
To play padel you need a padel racket, padel balls, and appropriate footwear. The racket is solid (no strings) with holes, and the balls are slightly softer than tennis balls.
The Bandeja: Padel's Essential Overhead
The bandeja is a controlled overhead shot in padel used to maintain net position. It's one of the most important shots in the game and a must-learn for intermediate players.
The Golden Point: Padel's Sudden Death Rule
The golden point is the sudden death point played at deuce (40-40). One team serves, and the receiving team chooses which side to return from. The team that wins the point wins the game — no advantage.
Wall Play in Padel: How to Use the Walls
Wall play is what makes padel unique. After a ball bounces on your side, it can hit the back or side wall — and you can still play it. Mastering the walls transforms your defensive game.
