>want to play some heckin' padel>renting out a court for 1.5 hours costs €40 to €60 depending on the timeslot (right after working hours = you're fucked)>all the courts are in shitty repurposed warehouses on the edge of town>there's always at least one Porsche parked outside, cheapest car is a 2015 Mercedes A-classWhat's the situation like in your country? Do you sometimes play?Over here it's blatantly obvious this stuff is only for the rich.
It's gaining popularity here because people don't want to be associated with the pickle ball boomers, but aren't athletic enough for tennis
>>154606975we don't have pickle ball, it's popular here for pretty much the same reason. Unathletic somewhat fat office workers can just play a quick session after work and have some fun.
>>154606886Try tennis. It might be harder to learn but it will pay off compared to this yuppie infested no-skill activity.
>>154606886>Over here it's blatantly obvious this stuff is only for the rich.huh?my country popularized this shit sadly so it's full of padel courts in every park for fat poorfags that can't afford nor play tennis
>>154606886Is this like when Millennials were really into frisbee for a while?
>>154607105It's been popular for years now, just nothing in the public spaces. Rather like 5-6 chains are building padel halls everywhere
>>154606886We are a tennis and padel country now;_;
Just looked at a video of this shit. Holy fucking effeminate cuck sport. Does one need to be bald or a woman to wanna play this? And I thought I was gay for playing squash.
>>154606886no I just run, running is free outside of shoes and it's easy to get last year's shoes for like 70% off
I live in a small town so I haven't even seen this game being played anywhere kek, only know it second hand from memes and Hajduk Split's currently most worshipped player (Livaja) is made fun for playing it by fans of other teams
>>154606886>padelhomo "sport"
>>154613107a thriving padel scene could exist under your nose and you wouldn't know it, as OP said it is played in windowless nondescript warehouses in the outskirts, it's like a fight club for boomers
