Here in the Northeast U.S., there is one paddle sport that people are crazy about...Platform Tennis. However, unbeknownst to many 'Northeasterners', there are equally enthusiastic groups of paddle sportsters from the Midwest to the West coast, in Puerto Rico and as far reaching as Europe. They play the all-season POP Tennis, Padel, Spec Tennis or Beach Tennis. Each of these sports is growing rapidly and provide as much fun as they do competition.
Today we want to dispel the myth that tennis balls and padel balls are the same. Of course they are not! And today we come to dispel any possible doubts you may have about it. First of all, we start from the premise that there are differences in the regulations of each sport. Although they have a similar form, the characteristics of them differ in some aspects.
This blog will go into the distinct differences between padel shoes and tennis shoes, considering various aspects such as court surface, lateral support, cushioning, toe drag protection, and weight.
Court Size and Surface: Padel courts are smaller than tennis courts, typically about a third of the size. Padel courts are also enclosed by walls, usually made of glass or mesh. Tennis courts are open and larger, with a variety of surfaces including grass, clay, and hard courts
Padel and tennis share quite a few similarities, which is logical as padel is derived from tennis. For example, the scoring system is the same, both sports have two halves separated by a net, and you play with rackets and balls.
As the popularity of racket sports continues to grow, more and more individuals are looking for diverse options to enjoy the game. Two sports that have gained significant attention in recent years are padel and tennis.
