Padel Service faults are few but very tricky. Follow along to know what to avoid and how to avoid it. Here are the Padel service faults by FIP rules, straight from the guidebook, made easy to read just for you.
The service is a fault if:
- The server infringes on Padel Service Rules.
- The server misses the ball when trying to hit it.
- The ball bounces outside the receiver’s service box.
- The ball hits the server, his companion, or any object worn or carried by either.
- The ball bounces in the receiver’s service box and touches the metallic fence around the court before the second bounce.
- The ball bounces in the receiver’s service box and bounces out of court directly through the gates of a court without a safety zone and therefore with no out-of-court play authorized.
