What is padel?

Padel is an exciting and accessible game for all ages and levels and no wonder is one of the sports in the world with a better growth rate.

This is a sport that by its structure is suited to be enjoyed! From the very first moment, making contact with the ball is relatively easy and soon enough you will be amazed at how affordable it is to hit long rallies. The dimensions of a padel court are 32 ft wide x 64 ft long.

The court is surrounded by walls of concrete or glass. These walls are a key factor to the thrilling rhythm of padel since the ball can rebound on them giving the players a lot of chances to "rescue" the ball and keep the rally.

HOW DO YOU PLAY PADEL?

The game is played with padel rackets. There are a bunch of different types depending on the characteristics of the player and choosing the correct one is a crucial element. These rackets are shorter and tend to be heavier than a tennis racket.

Some of the most important factors when choosing a padel racket must be its weight, its balance, and its rubber hardness. Also, one of the main visual characteristics of these rackets are the holes. These holes are allocated all across the faces of the racket.

In adidas padel, you will find a broad range of rackets offering a wide variety for all types of players and levels.
