Padel uses underhand serves, softer balls, and the glass walls that keep points alive. Rallies last longer and reward placement over pure power.
Because of the walls, defense is different. A slow lob to the back glass can flip a rally, and reset volleys matter more than one-shot winners.
Scoring mirrors tennis, but momentum swings are sharper—four quick points can change a set. Footwork is shorter and more lateral, which makes padel feel accessible for all ages.
