Who knew that Padel or padel tennis is the fastest growing sport in Spain?Not I!
It is similar to my favorite sport, platform tennis, in that we use the same paddles and we play off the walls. Other than that it is different. You serve under handed, use tennis balls, and can play doubles or singles.
The reason I now know this?
I was just approached by a company interested in the paddle covers I sell HERE
At first I thought it was a joke. The customer was so persistent that I did some research and found out that over 4 million people play Padel in Spain!
I think it was arrogant of me to think that only people in the Northeast of the United States play paddle.

I would love to learn how to play but I have never seen a court for it. Is it played indoors or outside? Like racket ball with paddles?? I'll have to google it.
