If you don't know about padel here are some questions I always get.

A comparison between Padel and Pickleball is bound to happen. While Padel is by far the fastest growing racket sport in the world, Pickleball is the fastest growing racket sport in the USA. 

What is the difference between padel and pickleball? 

Even though pickleball and padel may look similar at first glance, the truth is that they evolved from completely different sports. Pickleball evolved from badminton while padel evolved from tennis. This means very different court dimensions, scoring, and rules of play.

Is padel the same as pickleball?

In pickleball, it is due to the slow wiffleball, while in padel it is the surrounding walls that keep the ball in play. Playing pickleball gives you the feeling of standing on a large ping pong table, while padel feels like you are on a short tennis court.

Is padel easier than tennis?

Padel is easier to play and learn than tennis because less physical strength and technical capacities are demanded and there is a fantastic combination between your brain, challenged to its limits and your body that has to move a lot, but not necessarily as accurately as in tennis.
