Padel Racket

A Padel racket (or bat) is typically made of carbon fibre or fiberglass, and has no strings, making shots much easier to play for beginners. Using one simple grip for most shots, the padel racket has excellent playability and is easy for all players to pick up from the start. A padel ball is very similar to a tennis ball, but can be slightly smaller and with less pressure, meaning the bounce can keep the ball going for longer rallies.

The Rules

Padel requires two teams of two players (doubles). The game begins by an underarm serve, diagonally into the opposite corner on the oppositions side. When the player takes a serve, the ball must bounce once on the floor then hit from below, or at, waist heigh.

The aim is to score more points than the opposing team. Points are won if:

  • The ball bounces twice.
  • If the ball strikes any player.
  • Or the ball hits the wall or fixture before going over the net, or into the opponents ’half of the court.
