Let's take a small step back in time and discover theorigin padel<\/strong>, or the genesis of this sport that is gaining ground today.<\/p>\n

More and more people are starting to get to know him, discovering the great fun he hides, but few actually know how he was born.<\/p>\n

The truth is that this sport has a very recent past, with just a handful of active years compared to many others.<\/p>\n

To shed some light on the subject, therefore, we will go to the discovery of all those details related to the birth of the padel.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Where was Padel born?<\/h2>\n
\n

\"play<\/p>\n

The padel was born in Mexico in 1969, from a character called Enrique Corcuera<\/strong>, who was looking to create a padel boss and, by pure chance, invented the padel.<\/p>\n

But how? Therefore padel and paddles are not the same thing<\/strong><\/a>? Absolutely not, although some people believe and tell this story.<\/p>\n

But, going back to padel, Enrique had a small garden bordered by some walls of the house, for this reason he could not create a tennis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He therefore decided to throw himself on the paddle but, unlike the original sport, decided to introduce a small customized variant.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As we will see later, in the paddle there are back walls, but they cannot be used to bounce the ball<\/strong> and hit her as she comes back.<\/p>\n

He decided to change the rules<\/strong><\/a>, including the rebound and giving birth to the sport we know and love today.<\/p>\n

In short, a coincidence that has led to a new sporting reality, which has been much more successful than the original one.<\/p>\n

If you want to know more about padel you can read our articles on\u00a0how to play padel<\/a>, the\u00a0field size<\/a>, or on\u00a0classic questions of playing padel<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

When was Padel born?<\/h2>\n
\n

\"paddle<\/p>\n

But then, if this paddle isn't the same as the padel, where does it originate from and why isn't it as popular as its cousin?<\/p>\n

The paddle was born at least 50 years earlier<\/strong>, perhaps even a few more, in a time window between the late 1800s and early 1900s.<\/p>\n

Some say that English sailors invented the term (but not the game), which was then created in its final form by an American, Frank Beal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

His goal was to allow children to learn to play tennis on a court more appropriate to their size, so he reduced the size.<\/p>\n

To this were added the walls to delimit the field (but considered as off-field) and, the rackets were simple wooden \u201cpadelle\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In one way or another, this variation of tennis also found its place among adults, giving life to padel.<\/p>\n

Over the years, the paddle has been further modified<\/strong> and today it looks much more like tennis, perhaps too much to be really popular.<\/p>\n

Indeed, at the time of writing this article, padel does not have many areas of the world where it is played, certainly less than padel.<\/p>\n

At this link, you will find the\u00a0best padel rackets ever!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why is it called Padel?<\/h2>\n
\n

\"how<\/p>\n

There would be a lot of debate on this and going to pull out the history archives, but we can still speculate about it.<\/p>\n

There is no official version however, in all likelihood, it is due to Spanish corruption of the term paddle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For a Spanish speaker, pronouncing the original form is quite difficult, as it makes very little sense in your language.<\/p>\n

So most likely it was most directly and simply adapted for pronunciation<\/strong>, giving birth to padel.<\/p>\n

In any case, as mentioned in the previous chapter, paddle is attributed to English sailors who (it is said) played on ships with a ball and oars.<\/p>\n

True? False? Only historians can say this with absolute certainty and, on balance, they have better things to investigate.<\/p>\n

We accept this theory at face value and always remind our readers that, whoever says that paddle and padel have the same origin (or are the same thing), are wrong<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you are looking for your neighbor\u00a0clothing from padel<\/a><\/strong>, take a look here!<\/p>\n

Who brought Padel to Italy?<\/h2>\n
\n

\"Dunlop<\/p>\n

With little or no surprise, it was a South American (Argentinian to be more precise), which is fairly obvious.<\/p>\n

This sport comes from the Latin areas of America, with particular diffusion in Argentina and Brazil<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

From there it then passed to Spain (another logical consequence) to then arrive in Italy during the economic crisis in Argentina in the 90s.<\/p>\n

It was Edoardo Caoduro and Martin Calvelo<\/strong>, who were fleeing their country's monetary disaster, to bring padel here.<\/p>\n

Martin, a great tennis player and padel in his country, began to teach it in Italy, helped by Caduro as a promoter of the thing.<\/p>\n

It took a short time for these two to make a fortune by introducing this new sport to our beautiful country.<\/p>\n

Conclusions<\/h2>\n
\n

Now you know everything there is to know about the origin of the padel, about the paddle and also how it arrived in Italy.<\/p>\n

Tell your friends about the history of this beautiful and very interesting sport, they too will want to know more.<\/p>\n

padel is experiencing a period of great expansion in our area and in the world, so we hope that it will soon reach an important level of diffusion.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
