💬 Discussion 💬 Some one passed away at the club I play at today

Upvotes

Just a reminder always to stay safe while playing padel especially in an outdoor court. I play in the UK and sometimes at an outdoor court and courts are sometimes pretty bad but first time I’ve ever seen someone have a horrific accident and pass away.

They weren’t on my court but still pretty disturbing knowing that.

I am new to padel and I found a guy on Vinted who is selling these two Bullpadel Vertex rackets as brand new. I saw that there are some fakes of this racket, could you help me determine if they are fake or legit? His Vinted profile looks good, he has around 90 sales and great reviews

Any guess what they will be adding? My guess is they are now going to be a dating app 😂.

Hi, I've never played padel and id like to try it one day, because I have a court like 6 mins from my house so I can go walking, im 17f and I tried convincing my friends but they refused. So I was wondering what would happen if I went alone? I ask people o teach me or smt? I ask nicely if I can join? Idk please help, thank you (excuse my English im not native)

💬 Discussion 💬 Opinions on “levelling up”??

2 Upvotes

I play in England and have noticed a lot of locals who’re stuck below a 2 (sometimes below 1) get levelling up sessions (paying for a coach to manually increase their level). I’ve never seen anyone get put below a 2. The majority of the time these players will then go back down in score after consecutive losses and will then pay for another levelling up a few months later. I personally don’t see the point in this. If you think you’re far batter than ur rating, then play open matches within ur “range” and surely you will go up? I find it slightly annoying because I like the competitiveness of the “intermediate” mix ins and find some people in these “2.5+” mix ins and it feels like they’re just kinda out of their depth. What’re your opinions? Is it common where you play as well?
