After the 2021 boom, we are confident it will continue to grow in 2022! Did you know that the Padel (or Paddle in English) was "invented" in the 70s in Mexico by Enrique Corcuera who, wanting to build a tennis court in his house, but having available a space bounded by walls, had the idea of considering the walls themselves as an integral part of the court!
Before arriving in Italy, Padel found a strong expansion around the world, especially in Argentina and Spain, where the first World Championships were played in 1992.At that time, most of the rackets, called shovels, were made in Argentina and many patents were filed right here.
For example, the Argentine patent n. AR243088, also extended in Italy with n. IT1248346, from 1993, protected a shovel aimed at improving game performance, reducing the sense of fatigue due to weight and avoiding the transmission of vibrations to the player's arm.
