Pickleball is a racket or paddle sport in which two players (singles) or four players (doubles) use a smooth-faced paddle to hit a perforated, hollow plastic ball over a 34-inch-high (0.86 m) net until one side is unable to return the ball or commits a rule infraction. Pickleball is played indoors and outdoors.
Racket sports (or racquet sports) are games in which players use a racket or paddle to hit a ball or other object. [1] Rackets consist of a handled frame with an open hoop that supports a network of tightly stretched strings.
Serves: Serves are always underarm and hit below waist level. Balls that hit the walls around the court after bouncing on the ground are still in play. Balls: Padel balls are required in official matches; these are similar to tennis balls but are slightly smaller. Padel is usually played casually with regular tennis balls.

Paddleball players play with a solid paddle, rather than a strung racket. A paddleball is slower (and slightly larger) than a racquetball. Paddleball games are played to 21 points, instead of 15 or 11 (as in racquetball). There are other minor differences, but racquetball players tend to pick up the sport quickly and many players are good in both.
