I discovered padel at a local club in London and it instantly became my sport of choice. The mix of quick rallies, clever angles and the social side of doubles makes it hard not to fall in love with.

I’m not here to give pro-level coaching. Just honest reflections from someone who plays every week, tries out new gear, and is always looking for simple ways to get better.

On PadelFans.co.uk, I share what’s working for me (and what isn’t) in the hope it makes your own time on court more enjoyable.

Got a question about padel, or stuck choosing between rackets? Drop me a message and I’ll happily share what I know.
