Yes. For sports Padel is ultra-hot now. Came out of nowhere and exploded. In Netherlands there are 6-year long waiting lists to join a club.

- LeonardoTolstoy 3y agoGreat game. Wish it would catch on more quickly in the US, there are basically no courts in the northeast.
- gowld 3y agoBesides fad status, why is better than tennis, badminton, or pickleball?
- LeonardoTolstoy 3y agoBadminton is a bit too far from tennis for my liking (as is ping pong), so I never got into it. As for the others, padel is far far far more athletic than pickleball (and paddle tennis for that matter), and I would argue even more so than tennis. I grew up playing tennis and I love it, but padel is more finesse and also scratched that itch of learning a whole new sport. I learned it in the UK 3-5 years ago, and I do very much miss it. Literally I think there is one court in all of New England, it is crazy how much of a not-thing it is considering it was invented in Mexico.
