As part of our padel special, we don't just want to introduce you to the most important things about equipment, technique, tactics, and court construction. We've already covered that in our three detailed blog posts. We also want to give our partners a chance to speak. Among them are several people who have been involved in the sport for a long time and can therefore offer valuable recommendations and expert insights. First up is Torsten Bonacker, Marketing Communications Manager at Dunlop. We asked him which padel products Dunlop manufactures, what personally fascinates him about the sport, and how he assesses the current padel boom in Germany. And finally, Torsten will present his "Best of Three" padel products.
We hope you enjoy these interesting and very personal padel insights!
All good things come in threes! After learning in parts one and two of our padel special what padel is, what equipment you need, where the sport comes from, and what technical and tactical elements it contains, we now continue with part three, the final part of our padel special for now. Today you'll learn what you should consider and keep in mind when building a padel court . These are questions that many tennis clubs are currently grappling with. Our padel expert, Yannik Mann, has compiled the most important decision criteria for you . From planning and construction to maintenance and the not insignificant question of costs. And, of course, Yannik will also answer the question of whether building a padel court is "worth it."
Perfectly timed with our current padel special, we're thrilled to announce some fantastic news. Our partner Dunlop has entered into a strategic alliance with the Italian padel court specialist Favaretti. What we find particularly exciting is that this alliance has already resulted in a finished product: the "Favaretti Powered by Dunlop" padel court. Besides being made from the highest quality materials, it boasts a stunning design branded in Dunlop's signature colors. It's incredibly stylish, and the blue grass surface is identical to that used on the World Padel Tour. But the court itself isn't the only perk. Dunlop is offering a special starter kit to every buyer. All four different starter kits are valued at €4,000 and include rackets, balls, bags, training equipment, and much more, depending on your choice.
So, take a look at this chic new padel court from Dunlop & Favaretti!
In part two of our padel special, we're focusing on stroke technique and tactics. For those who don't yet know what a Salida, Contra Pared, x3, or Bandeja is, our padel expert Yannik Mann shed some light on the subject. From the serve to groundstrokes, the lob, drop shot, or overhead smash – for all the different padel strokes and variations, we have a short video alongside the explanation. This way, you can see how each stroke works and is played. And for the padel expertsamong you – or those who aspire to be – Yannik has an absolutely invaluable tactical tip. It's not just about brute force; smart padel is key. And that's quite different from tennis in many ways. That's why it's so important to approach the game correctly, both technically and tactically.
