ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Padel is exploding across the UK and Europe… but why is everyone suddenly obsessed?
In this episode of Ball Slapping, we’re joined by Jared Robinson, former UK Top 10 padel player, coach, and founder of AllCourtPadel.
From dismissing padel as a “tennis-lite joke” to becoming one of the best players in the country, Jared breaks down what makes the sport so addictive.Don't forget to watch the sister video: https://youtu.be/L9bU05HQcT4?si=HUc2OZro_UdZRlAI

- The key differences between padel, tennis, and squash
- How to actually improve your game (and stop smashing it into the back wall…)
- The tactics that separate beginners from top players
- Why Spain is miles ahead of everyone else
- Whether padel is a fad… or here to stay
Plus: Jared’s journey from Sweden to the UK, his playing style (ridiculous slice + angles), and what’s next for padel in Britain.
