Padel is a racket sport and typically played in doubles on an enclosed court roughly 25% smaller than the size of a tennis court. Scoring is the same as normal tennis and the balls used are similar but with a little less pressure. The main differences are that the court has walls and the balls can be played off them in a similar way as in the game of squashand that solid, stringless bats are used. The height of the ball being served must be at or below the waist level.
The relatively new sport Padel, has become very popular around the world lately. It says, that a Padel similar game, was played on a cruise ship already in the 1920s, but it is the Mexican Enrique Corcuera who is seen as the father of Padel. The rules that are followed in this sport today were set in year 1974.
