I have been playing padel for over 3 decades, and this is one of the clearest explanations of the game I ever watched on youtube. Well done.

[@fedyosh4221]

It’s 3 decades old?

[@georginiuss]

@@fedyosh4221 padel was invented in the late 60`s, in 1969 precisely in Acapulco by Enrique Corcuera. I start playing it in 1989 in Argentina.

[@TheLunarnotes]

Could you tell me why the rackets are so outrageously expensive compared to squash and tennis rackets? I want to start playing but my jaw dropped when I saw prices.

[@georginiuss]

@@TheLunarnotes I guess since padel is growing all over the world so amazingly fast, padel brands are in their moment, so they have no reason not to rise their prices. Back in the 90´s padel gear was relatively inexpensive compare to tennis for example. That being said there are second brands, that have reasonable prices and they offer good quality: Royal padel, Sidespin, Kombat, Kelme, Kappa, Dufour, Sane, Sola. etc. All of this brands have nice products for amateur and even competitive players. But if you look for top brands like Bullpadel, Nox, Adidas, Head, Wilson, and specially their top of the line models, prices are up to 5 times other raquets (palas o paletas are how they call it in spanish) And believe me in this you can it even tell the difference between a 120 bucks racket from a 300 one until you reach quite a high level. Go for a medium model in a second brand and you will enjoy a lot. Spend your money on padel lessons, and you will be fine. Then may be, you need something that match your needs. But you can not know what you need unless you play well and play a lot. Greetings from Argentina, I hope you find this useful.

[@TheLunarnotes]

@@georginiuss Thanks for your response! I'm booking my first lesson soon, in Stratford, East London, UK's biggest club apparently.

I am here to watch this video because Padel recently born here in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. This sport is very interesting!

[@cranerishh]

Wow this the clearest explanation of Padel I’ve watched

[@weill6872]

same for me (also the only video about padel I ever watched but it was very clear xD)

[@q8_padels]

Great video love it

[@safemoonlover619]

Scoring system is the same used while playing tennis (game-set-match), but in recent years the deuce has been changed to the Gold Point. This new norm is used when the game is 40-40, it's called the Gold Point bc the team that wins the next point wins the game, the team that recieves the serve choses the player that is going to recieve it skipping what would be the natural serving order.

[@egregius9314]

My head is reeling trying to understand the tennis/padel scoring system. Who on earth counts 15-30-40 instead of 1-2-3?

[@calebp6114]

There is a theory that tennis scoring was originally counted using the hands of a clock, hence, 15mins, 30mins, 45mins (which was shortened to 40). Hope that helps

[@juanmc76]

Great video. I love padel. I am originally from Argentina.

[@peterbarrett5496]

Can I hit it into the corner so that it hits the back and side wall and then over?

[@user-qs1fq9ez6h]

Is the padel raquet heavy?

[@romeomacfaden]

What if the first serve of the ball hits directly the wire wall or the glass without touching the opponent’s court then what should we do? Re-serve or count a point to opponent?

[@lena___]

the server has two opportunities to complete the serve

[@mikecondon93]

I think 2nd serve only counts if you hit the net or miss the service lines

[@China-padel-court-manufacturer]

very cool

[@proper_miles]

I haven’t played, but looked this up because I’m considering it. I am a solid tennis player… But my friends tend to kind of suck. So instead of good rallies, it winds up being me mostly just fetching the ball the smacked somewhere stupid. So padel might solve that problem since it’s walled in. Now they can suck all they want!

[@matejsamardzic8123]

Is this padel Fam in US or UK?

[@Engineer9736]

Looks like a lot of aspects are similar to tennis. With the serve area and the points system. But i'll stick to tennis 😋

[@rebekahtyler7406]

Came to see what this is all about because a video was claiming it was going to take over Pickleball but now I see that it requires a whole room…. no way. Especially when it’s not the same size as a racquetball court.

[@mahmoudhakeem7202]

can i hit the ball directly to the back wall without bouncing the ball into the ground first? " in play"

[@mikecondon93]

No this is out and you lose the point must bounce off the ground first

[@skojuzija]

Padel looks like retirement sport for ex-tennis players

[@jasper036]

I think it might be vice versa. Tennis can be a lot slower than this for elderly. My grandpa plays tennis but doesn’t like the pace of padel

[@PlanetaSugus]

Clearly, you have never played padel nor watched professional players. Padel is much more about tactics and playing at the right speed. Many tennis players that start with padel make A LOT of mistakes by hitting way too hard or with too much slice on the forehand, meaning their balls: 1. Go straight to the wall and lose the point easily 2. Go too hard and give an easy rebound for the opponents to counterattack. I don't think it's easy for tennis players to get used to this.

[@Nolito3008]

People who liked this, including you, must have never played padel. It requires crazy reflexes, flexibility, endurance, etc. so no, not at all for retired people.

[@SirButtfuck]

What happens if you hit the ground and then the wire fence when in play? (not when serving)

[@javiermedina4418]

It's allowed

[@Rex-beno]

1:09 what do you mean loses a point? Like im 30 i become 15?

[@karkyy]

I believe it's because the other team wins the point if you do that. Hence, you lost it.

[@Labgorilla]

Haaaa. So it’s a mix of tennis and squash. So many people talking about it. I just had to find out how it works.

[@dirkhaar2243]

~@2:00: ... like in tennis... If the score is tied 40:40, ... two consecutive points in a row... Wrong? I mean, in tennis it's "everytime it's a tie, one must win to consecutive points in a row". And "safemoon to the moon" even declares there is a "Gold Point".

[@omanssa]

Correct, they explained it wrong.

[@DaniilLyrics]

Does it have to be played doubles or can it be played in singles?

[@BusafiE]

As far as I know, it has to be doubles.

[@lena___]

it can be played in singles

[@spanishcrab]

There are two different court sizes. One for doubles and another for singles. The most common one is for doubles.

[@xanboyyy]

It can be played in singles, but the court is smaller. I've only ever seen such a court in Spain

[@symo9924]

My partner and I play Singles at the moment. We only use half of the court and try not to hit the ball to other other side. We're beginners, so we're playing singles until we feel confident enough to play with other people and get used to the scoring system.

Why can people smash it over when it hasn't bounced over? Nobody explains this in any video

[@agustinandreini6624]

Because it is consider a volley, but it must come with the right height, so you can smash it, it bounces on the opponent court, and can go outside, or even return to your court.

[@mikecondon93]

I think tennis and padel tennis should have same scoring system as badminton. 21 individual points to win a set and best of 3 sets. Find tennis annoying where you could win a set in 4 points. Doesn't give yourself enough time to get back into the game.

[@Kurabold2]

[@juliofranciscogomezstoppel1860]

it's a far more physical version of tennis. While raw strenght isn't that much necesary as it is in tennis, you jump way more often, you run foward and back more often (even outside of court), and most points are decided on volley, wich means is more intensive on the quick reaction and reflexes. Since the game gives a lot more oportunities to recover, points also tend to be longer, and there are more chances to get back from a mistake in the middle of a point. Just watch any doubles match of tennis the Davis Cup, and compare it to the Padel World Tour, you will see what i mean.

For God sake!!!! Can anyone please explain how to score in this game nothing and no one explain it very well everybody says it just like scoring in tennis No it’s not!!! They say if you hit the opponent ground twice you score!! And if the ball hit the opponent grid the opponent score!! That doesn’t make sense what if the opponent just play lazy and my ball always hits his grid!! I just want to understand this game and not look like a fool when I play!? 🥲

[@tcphll]

It is the same as tennis. I think you may be overthinking it. If the ball bounces twice, you lose the point. If the ball hits the net, you lose the point. If the ball hits the opponent's wall before hitting the opponent court (similar to hitting it out in tennis), you lose the point. If you double fault on a serve, you lose the point. The part you're confused about is hitting the grid. If the ball hits the grid after a serve, the server wins the point, not the opponent. It's the same as an ace in tennis.

[@GrimChu69]

Watch the video

[@safemoonlover619]

You can score in this game by: You return the ball to the opponent's side and bounces twice. You return the ball and bounces once in the opponent's side, the ball goes outside the 'cage' and bounces outside. You return the ball and hits any part of the opponent's body. Your opponent fails to return the ball by hitting the net. Your opponent returns the ball but hits the glass/grid before hitting the court. Your opponent hits the ball outside the 'cage' without touching your side of the court first. Your opponent commits a double fault. Your opponent touches the net while the ball is still in play. Things to take into consideration: The ball has to bounce once in your opponent's side to be considered in play, if it goes staight to the glass, grid or even out of the 'cage' the ball is considered out. After the first bounce in your opponent's side, the ball can touch both glass and grid. (serve exception) When you serve, the ball has to hit the court (serve square) first and then it can hit the glass, but never the grid as it would be considered fault. You are able to play a ball that goes outside the 'cage', check the World Padel Tour (WPT) yt channel to see a great demonstration. You can use your own glass to return the ball to the other side but never the grid, you can check this as well on the WPT channel as it hosts the bests talents of the sport. Hope this helps!
