Insights on padel technology, equipment, court guides, and the growing US padel industry.
LA's padel coverage stops at the Westside, but the South Bay has quietly become the region's second padel cluster. Here is every court in Torrance, Carson and San Pedro, which ones you can actually book, and what changes when six waterfront courts open at West Harbor.
Six padel projects across Miami-Dade are marked opening soon, adding 45 courts to the densest padel market in the country — about a 21% jump in county supply. Here is every project with court counts and addresses, plus an honest status check on which are actually under construction and which are still waiting on a city vote.
Epic Padel has gone from one club to four announced sites in a year — Charlotte, Tysons, Milwaukee and beyond. We break down the operator's real estate playbook, the indoor-versus-outdoor logic, and where each club actually stands. Plus: why the Epic club in Sunrise, Florida is a different company entirely.
Broward County has 17 open padel courts across four clubs — and 15 of them are indoors, inland, and air-conditioned. A guide to playing in Miramar, Sunrise, Weston and Hallandale Beach, plus the 8-court project coming to Fort Lauderdale. Includes prices, ceiling heights, booking platforms and late-night hours.
Swing Racquet + Paddle is building 15 padel courts on a 44-acre racquet campus in Raleigh — the largest padel project under construction in the US. But the opening has slipped from 2026 to 2028, and the developer no longer publishes a court breakdown. Here is what is confirmed, what is not, and where to play in North Carolina in the meantime.
Almost every guide to padel in Puerto Rico stops at San Juan. Three more clubs sit outside the metro — in Bayamón, Dorado and Río Grande — and only one of them is open to the public. Here is what is out there and which door you need to walk through.
Padel takes four people, and that is the real reason most Americans quit after one session. This guide covers the five routes that actually work — open play, booking-app matching, WhatsApp groups, clinics and leagues — using booking-platform data from all 361 active US clubs in our directory.
South Carolina's padel story didn't start in Charleston. It started with one court behind a converted schoolhouse in Columbia and a veteran-run club in a Greenville suburb. Here are the three venues outside the Lowcountry, what they cost, and how to get on court.
TSA allows padel rackets in both carry-on and checked bags — at 45.5 cm the racket was never the problem. The thermal tour bag you packed it in is. Here is what the rules actually say, verified at the source, plus how to keep your core intact on the ramp in Phoenix in July.
Tecnifibre's padel line is competent, well-engineered and 20–30% cheaper than the Spanish flagships. The catch is distribution: we checked live inventory across the US market and found that not one dedicated padel retailer stocks the brand. Here are the five Tecnifibre rackets worth buying, with US prices, and the two stores that actually sell them.
Cold air pulls the pressure out of the ball, kills the back-glass rebound and stiffens the forearm that has to absorb it. Here is how to adjust your game, what to wear, and how to keep a tube of balls alive through a US winter — plus which northern metros actually have indoor courts when the outdoor season ends.
Most racket guides sort by level or playing style. This one sorts by where you stand. We break down what the drive side and the revés side each demand from a frame, name 11 US-available picks across both, and clear up the confusion between playing the left side and being left-handed.
