Re: Paddle Tennis
I know sometimes I can be a little flippant - But seriously.
Are you saying that, paddle ball is played somewhere other than on the beach, using a £5 set bought from the kiosk next to the carpark?
What are the differences between it and "real" tennis? is it easier/slower, do you let the ball bounce etc. Where is it played?

Re: Paddle Tennis
Oh very definitely - it seems to be very big in the States and here in Spain. I have the £5 set!! Very similar to tennis played either in singles or doubles - no overhead serve and you can use the side and back of court. Have found the racquets in a local sports shop but looks as though they could be about €60 each minimum! Seeing as I have never played it before and with hubbies' eyes he reckons he might not see the ball did not want to spend too much money. Have a "google".
