PADEL UP

 Why Padel UP ?

​

Padel up is a company that represents one of our values which is growth. Padel is a racket sport that is most often played in doubles and takes place on an enclosed court that is approximately 25 percent smaller in size than a tennis court. The scoring is exactly the same as in regular tennis, and the balls used are virtually identical but for the fact that they are inflated to a little lower pressure. The key distinctions between the two sports are the use of solid, stringless bats and the presence of walls within the court, which allow for the balls to be played o the walls in a manner analogous to that of the game of squash. It is required that the height of the ball that is being served be at or below waist level. The sport that is commonly referred to in the United States and Canada as paddle tennis is not the same as padel. It should also not be confused with platform tennis, which is played both in the winter and the summer and is often held at country clubs in the United States and Canada. Platform tennis courts are heated from below to prevent snow and water from accumulating on them. Because it can be picked up so quickly and with so little effort, playing this sport is not only entertaining but also very addicting.

 

 

 

Ways to serve

 

The underarm serve is completed with a stringless racquet that is short, has an elastic surface with holes, and is used in conjunction with a tennis ball that has low compression. In this variant of tennis, shots can be played either before or after the ball bounces o the surrounding glass walls. This gives the sport a very different feel compared to traditional tennis. The playing field, the rules, and the playing styles are all significantly different. Enrique Corcuera of Mexico is credited with coming up with the idea for the sport in 1969. It enjoys a great deal of notoriety in Spain as well as in a number of nations located in Latin America, particularly Mexico, Argentina, and Chile.

 

 

Court Sizes

According to the regulations for the sport of padel, the playing field must conform to the shape of a rectangle that is 10 meters (32 ft 10 in) broad (back wall) and 20 meters (65 ft 7 in) long (side wall) (with a 0.5 percent tolerance), and it must be enclosed by walls. There will be a net in the middle of the playing field that will divide the court in half. The net will have a maximum height of 88 centimeters (35 inches) in the center, and it will rise to 92 centimeters (36 inches) on the sides (with a tolerance of 0.5 millimeters (1/5) of an inch). Connecting panels measuring 3 meters high and 2 meters wide make up the superstructure, while an extra 1 meter of mesh height is positioned over the glass rear walls (10m walls). This increased height of 1 meter is carried over the side walls for an additional 2 meters as it travels from each corner. This indicates that the back walls and service corners are in fact 4 meters in height, whereas the other side walls are only 3 meters in height. Metal mesh panels are used for the sides, while glass panels are used for the back walls and service side walls (the two side

panels that are located closest to the back walls).

The service lines are positioned 3 meters (9 ft 10 in) in front of the rear wall, and there will also be another line in the middle that splits the central rectangle into two equal halves. Each line is 5 centimeters (about 2 inches) wide and should be easily distinguishable from one another. A distance of at least 6 meters must be maintained between the playing field and any obstruction, such as the roof (19 ft 8 in). The key distinctions between Padel and Tennis are that the serve in Padel is done underarm and that balls can be played o the glass walls in a manner that is akin to how it is done in Squash.
