Padel vs. Pickleball: Key Differences
While both are booming racquet sports, padel and pickleball are quite different:
- Court — Padel uses enclosed glass courts (20m × 10m). Pickleball uses open courts (6.1m × 13.4m).
- Walls — In padel, balls can be played off the glass walls, similar to squash. Pickleball has no walls.
- Equipment — Padel uses solid, stringless paddles and depressurized tennis balls. Pickleball uses perforated polymer balls and smaller paddles.
- Format — Padel is always doubles. Pickleball can be singles or doubles.
- Scoring — Padel uses tennis scoring (15-30-40). Pickleball uses rally scoring to 11 or side-out to 11.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is padel and how is it different from pickleball?
Padel is a racquet sport played in an enclosed glass court (20m × 10m) with solid, stringless paddles and a depressurized tennis ball. Unlike pickleball, padel courts have walls that are in play (like squash), the serve is underhand and bounced, and the court is always doubles-sized. Padel is the fastest-growing sport in the world, with huge popularity in Spain, Latin America, and now the US.
How much does it cost to play padel?
Padel court rental typically costs $40–$80 per court per hour, split between 4 players (doubles only). That works out to $10–$20 per person per hour. Some facilities offer memberships, class packages, or off-peak discounts.
Do I need my own padel racket?
No — most padel facilities offer racket rentals ($5–$10) and provide balls. It's a great way to try the sport before investing in your own equipment. When you're ready to buy, expect to pay $50–$200 for a quality padel racket.
Is padel hard to learn?
Padel is one of the most beginner-friendly racquet sports. The underhand serve, enclosed court (no chasing balls), and slower ball speed make it easy to start rallying quickly. Most new players can enjoy a competitive game within their first session.
Where are padel courts in the US?
Padel is growing rapidly in the US, with 267+ facilities across 33 states. Florida, Texas, California, and New York have the most courts. Major cities like Miami, Houston, Los Angeles, and New York City have multiple padel venues.
