Padel is technically less difficult, because you don't have to play a complex overhand service, for example, but an easier underhand service. In addition, the strokes are often flat with some rotation here and there such as: slice and topspin. The players also talk about padel being more fun than tennis.

The ball may only touch the ground once, not more often. The ball may be played before and after the bounce. The ball must bounce once before it bounces off the glass or fence. If the ball hits the fence before going over the net, there is a foul.
