ball bounces twice on your side... if you hit the glass directly into the glass ... that's it.

its a mix of tennis and squach

Paddleball? I've heard of it.. It looks pretty hard to hit the ball after it bounces off the glass.

It requires a lot of speed,reflexes and tons of patience. But those are the best points of a match, the highlights.

I must say that its a really addictive sport.

It is! I play padel once a week, every thursday at 8 PM. Great workout, so much fun

Similar, yet not the same

 

[zunderlips27]

Yes, I think its no sense to play Platform tennis if there is a chance to play Padel.The concept is basically the same but Padel is 2-3 steps ahead.

 

[Rock Strongo]

It's on the rise here in Sweden, with new facilities to open where I live. Problem is, that it's ridiculously expensive to play right now...

Should he retire?

The shorter guy on the losing team in the first video needs to move to a larger headsize padel.

That looks as if a squash court and a racquetball court had a b*stard child, and someone decided to throw a net in the middle of it and hit a ball with paddle tennis racquets. Odd. Pretty neat though.

I got dizzy seeing them do 360 spins.
