Who came up with that title? Pickleball is never mentioned!

[@Losangelesharvey]

the clickbait got me too

[@jamessssssssssssss]

thanks just saved me a few minutes : )

[@manoliyosumbaeras6277]

Owning a padel club and not able to say the word correctly lol

[@georginiuss]

Padel is the fastest growing sport in the world with more than 25 million padel player and growing in more than 90 countries. One of padel majors is played in Roland Garros. Pickleball is a kind of child game to play on vacations!!

[@Losangelesharvey]

every sport seems to like to call itself the fastest growing sport. at least for the US, pickleball is huge and padel is almost unheard of

[@georginiuss]

@@Losangelesharvey I said fastest growing only in U.S?? I have no doubts pickleball is growing fast in US, but... World is not US, world is ALL THE COUNTRIES!! If you search "how many people play padel in US in google" the highlight answer is this " How popular is padel in the US? Pickleball vs. Padel: A Match Between Americans and Everyone ... The two sports took off during the pandemic as people turned to socially distanced activities. They're on parallel tracks. Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the United States, while padel (pronounced PAH-del) is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world.May 11, 2023" The source is THE NEW YORK TIMES" under "Is Everyone Playing Padel Without Us? Americans, bewitched by pickleball, are late to a global sports craze" Padel is having a mind blowing growth in Europe, specially Spain, Sweden, Portugal, France and Italy. Also but not that big yet, England, Finland, Netherlands, Austria. Is huge in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, and growing fast in Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. Countries like Qatar, UAE. kzbin.info/www/bejne/epSVmqiBrM-eeJI (this video was the previous day of the the attendance record for padel) This was in march 2023 in La rioja, Argentina.

[@lgbnz]

never heard of padel

[@georginiuss]

@@lgbnz I´ve never seen a pickeball court in my life nor watched a match. It seems to be a childs game for the beach

[@georginiuss]

The same with pickleball here, but I played padel in 3 different countries.

[@shanemacc4066]

Misleading. Just a padel club advert.

[@hctobe]

Since when did Padel become a French word, ”Padelle”?!?🤣😆 We play Padel here in Portugal and it’s a really fun sport, similar to this Pickleball, but you run a lot more on the court and you can use the glass wall to boomerang the balls to the other side, like hitting balls on a pool table,,,,,

[@vonettadevo]

How is it supposed to be pronounced? I've only heard it pronounced this way.

[@padelfyi]

​@@vonettadevo the stress is on the first syllable like in the word paddle, that's why there's an accent on the a, "pádel"

[@trentcarson8502]

wow super informantative greeat job@! keep the good work thanks from illinois! 😁

[@suserman7775]

I've played padel but its high cost has kept me from getting a lot of hours in. One drawback I see is that unlike pickleball or tennis, not much topspin can be applied to the ball. The lack of topspin prohibits hitting hard on drives; so only really overhand hits can be hard. Pickleball allows hard drives because the light plastic ball loses its speed while retaining its topspin. Tennis allows hard drives because the court is bigger (and topspin). So the lack of topspin in padel makes it more similar to racquetball, except that rball still lets you hit VERY hard drives because there's no net to worry about and because you can hit the back wall before the bounce.

[@tommyfender1968]

The beauty of pickleball is that it can played almost anywhere. Give me a portable net, some painters tape. 10 minutes I have a court. It’s simple and fun. Padel requires a glass enclosure and your extremely limited

[@fidodido2867]

rallies are longer and more fun in Padel

[@devpatel7154]

Why do that with Pickleball when u can take a portable net and just play tennis lol. I grew up playing house tennis like that. Used rackets and a chair as a net

[@magdalenabaron5136]

In very basic terms I see Padel as Pickleball on steroids, with no kitchen to worry about and a backwall that keeps the rally alive. I've been playing racquetball for 40 years and just recently started with Pickleball and tried Padel a couple of times and I absolutely love all three. I'm going to fry my brain however differentiating between the three, too much muscle memory in racquetball to undo in the other two!!😅

[@speeddude16]

I think I pin pointed the reason why Padel isn't taking off in the USA. its because they pronounce it like snobs. It's supposed to be pronounced Paddle only that it's spelled phonetically in Spanish...

[@vonettadevo]

That (well, they do have to distinguish between this and paddle tennis, like he mentioned) but also the prohibitively expensive cost will prevent it from picking up here like picklebal has.

[@vonettadevo]

NYC Racquet Sports sells padel racquets as well as Mason Tennis.

[@andrestrigo4618]

It's not Padel, it's Pádel, stress on the first syllable.

[@RedDelSol]

Very cool club. Padel is probably the fastest growing sport in the world. Would encourage everyone to try it. Be warned, you will want to play regurlarly 🙂

[@Wellandgood]

Agreed! Ella is already planning her next visit! 🌟🎾

[@wongjefx980]

Padel vs Pickleball vs Paddle Tennis (POP Tennis).... personally I'd pick Paddle Tennis, which is essentially Padel without the walls over Pickleball. PB is OK. Padel would be more marketable without the walls, because the custom court means more cost to implement vs Pickleball, which just needs lines on tennis court.

[@AlexFuerteventura]

Where is this dude from? In Spanish, "Padel" is pronounced "Paddle". The term for the sport comes from the English word.

[@sergiogr]

It is pronounced pa·dl. Pádel!

[@suserman7775]

I thought land prices in Europe were more expensive than in the USA. But if that is the case, how the hell is Padel affordable in Europe??? I'm must cost two hours of work wages to play one hour of Padel. Can someone help me with the math ?

[@nicolassalinramis4863]

It does cost two hours of work wages, but it's worth it 😆

[@suserman7775]

@@nicolassalinramis4863 lol

[@13aivan]

How much does it cost in the US? In Spain it's usually the price of a movie ticket.

[@timmulrenan8464]

No mention of Pickleball, I came here to learn the difference. Sounds like Padel is closer to Racquetball but with a net.

[@Losangelesharvey]

I watched the entire video waiting for what was promised in the title - What's the Difference Between Padel + Pickleball? - never happened. clickbait fail

[@unvcht5046]

Did he say coexist steam room 😂😂 that pays for the pricy membership by itself 😂

But the differences?

E cool code 49

NOSENSE PEOPLE IS HERE TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE OF PICKLEBALL AND PADDLE, NOT TO MARKETING YOUR FRIEND'S PLACE.

[@CVM222VOLT]

I see it being limited as it is indoors needing custom walled courts. It will not begin to take off like Pickle ball has.

[@vonettadevo]

They just opened an outdoor court at Domino Park.

[@nicolassalinramis4863]

You'll be surprised to learn that there are over 25 million ACTIVE padel players worldwide, whereas there are only around 10 million ACTIVE (not players who've only played it once) pickleball players. As you can see Padel is more popular! I do agree though that padel can be annoying since you need a specific court, and these are more expensive than pickleball courts. Playing padel is also harder. However, I find padel to be less monotonous than pickleball. The walls make the game much more fun. Moreover, it's not like a very good player can just start playing padel and become a pro instantly.

[@CVM222VOLT]

.globally perhaps

@@nicolassalinramis4863 stats brought to you by the padel association :-)

Downvote this into oblivion for never actually comparing to pickleball.

Poor explanation nothing like tennis how do you get a ball out of you can hit after ball bounces off wall????
