Padel, a fast-growing sport that has been making waves around the globe, has landed in Kuala Lumpur and ASCARO Padel & Social Club is right at the forefront of this exciting new journey.
As pioneers of Padel in Malaysia, ASCARO is here to show you how to play this thrilling game and why they are the ones to do so. So, grab your paddle and prepare for an ace-ing time! Below, we go through a few key pointers to know about Padel and ASCARO.
What is Padel?
Padel is a racquet sport that originated in Mexico and combines elements of tennis and squash. It’s played on a small enclosed court with glass walls which means no more chasing balls.
However, ASCARO has covered open-air courts that provide a sense of openness while still being protected from the rain. The game is typically played in doubles which makes it a perfect social sport.
Padel is all about strategy, teamwork and quick reflexes – just like tennis and squash.
How to Play Padel
Before you rush onto ASCARO’s courts, here are the basics you should know:
- Serve: You start the game by serving underhand, making sure the ball bounces before crossing the net. Aim for the opponent’s service box diagonally across from you.
- Volley: Padel allows you to volley the ball after the serve, meaning you can hit it before it bounces which is different from tennis. Here, it’s all about reaction time.
- Smash: Get ready to use your strength! This powerful overhead shot is the highlight of the game. Padel is all about setting up that perfect smash and it is very satisfying.
- Bandeja: This is a defensive smash technique – quite the challenge to do. Meaning “tray” in Spanish, picture the racket being held like so and being able to bounce the ball off of it in this position.
- Scoring: Padel uses a similar scoring system to tennis but it’s much simpler. You only need to win two out of three sets and each set goes up to six games.
