Padel Black Friday Deals 2025
Padel is the world’s fastest-growing racket sport, and Black Friday is the perfect time to get equipped.1 Whether you’re a seasoned player or a curious beginner, this guide will explain what Padel is, why you should get involved, and where to find the best Black Friday deals on essential gear.
What is Padel and Why Get Involved?
Padel is a dynamic, fast-paced racket sport that is often described as a hybrid of tennis and squash.2 It is played in doubles on an enclosed court (roughly one-third the size of a tennis court) surrounded by glass walls and a metallic fence.3
What is it?
- Played in Doubles: Matches are almost exclusively played with four people.4
- The Court: The court is smaller than a tennis court and is surrounded by walls (usually glass), which are used as part of the game—similar to squash.5
- The Racket: Players use solid, stringless, and perforated rackets (often called “bats” or “paddles”) made from composite materials.6
- The Ball: The balls are similar to tennis balls but have less pressure, resulting in a slightly slower pace and longer, more engaging rallies.7
- The Serve: The serve must be underarm and struck below waist level.8
- Scoring: Scoring follows the same system as tennis (15, 30, 40, Game, Set, Match).9
Why should you get involved?
- It’s Highly Social: Because it’s always played in doubles, it’s a great way to meet new people and fosters strong social interaction. The enclosed court ensures players are always close, encouraging communication.
- Easy to Learn, Hard to Master: The rules are simple, and the underarm serve and ability to use the walls make it highly accessible for beginners.10 You can have fun and enjoy a rally within the first hour of playing. As you progress, the strategic depth offers a challenge for all skill levels.
- Fantastic Workout: Padel provides a great cardio workout, involving quick sprints, changes of direction, and lunges.11 A 60-minute game can burn a significant number of calories, while the focus on the game helps relieve stress.
- Low Impact: The underarm serve is easier on the shoulder, and the shorter racket and slower ball speed generally put less strain on the arm, making it a lower-impact sport than traditional tennis.12
