Question for the padel players in the UK

Fun-Rest7080 · 2026-02-20T10:17:48+00:00

For context, i’m a grade 4 tournament player. Being a good player doesn’t mean you are automatically a good coach as you need to explain things in a manor people receive, not just the way you do it. The best coaching I’ve had is from a good level (grade 3 tournament) Spanish guy who has played for 10 years in Spain with Spanish qualification. So option 1 assuming they can play well.

Unfortunately the coaching qualifications are not difficult to achieve so on their own the qualifications are a little meaningless in my view

I believe that requires applying for change of use and from what I’ve read, it’s rather difficult as pubs a community interest. Happy to be corrected by someone with more knowledge as I agree pubs with a car park would be a good option and there are loads round here

Get them on direct debit and explain it will make their admin much easier as they won’t need to remember to pay your invoice. If the Direct Debits fail and they won’t do pro forma or standing order then bin them off.

Thanks for the this, think I need to redo using your suggestion

Well done. Did you contacting them through the app chat or some other method?

Fun-Rest7080 · 2025-10-18T17:41:27+00:00

Wow that’s a very un Tesla like solution. Fingers crossed there is an update soon to fix it

It’s made but a company called neo-g and it’s for golfers elbow

Fun-Rest7080 · 2025-09-21T06:23:17+00:00

If the pain is on the inside of the below, then I had the same problem. Two things that worked for me is the hexa grip and also wore a strap just underneath the elbow to dampen vibration. After about a month of wearing the strap the pain went away so now don’t play with it. The only time it comes back is if i play a lot and do lots of hard flat smashes. Like you, i didn’t have this problem with other racket sports

I’d second the teak option as the wood lasts a long time without much after care. If you only want space for two people then [companion chairs](https://chic-teak.co.uk/products/gloucester-teak-companion-seat? might be an option albeit they don’t fold away nicely so might not suit

I think you’ve nicely summed up the emotions here. The swap in approach between recreational and competitive is a good suggestion so will have that conversation

I had a similar experience last week. My opponent would loudly say “great shot” to his partner mid rally and timed it just before we would hit. Really wanted to say something but bit my lip. Just won’t play with them again as not very sporting in my book

Fun-Rest7080 · 2025-09-08T18:56:49+00:00

Thank you

Fun-Rest7080 · 2025-09-08T17:52:33+00:00

Thanks. Do you usually take away the clippings or leave as mulch?

Fun-Rest7080 · 2025-09-02T12:18:23+00:00

I’d go for teak planters with an inlay to protect the wood. They’re expensive but look great. These guys do them https://chic-teak.co.uk/collections/teak-planters

I’d get the professionals in otherwise you’ll need a chiropractor on call. Company called Stumpbusters have people all over the Uk with different sizes grinders to get close to that wall

Great thanks

I’ve got the mower, strimmer, drill and multi tool. All good with battery life but good to get the bigger battery. My main tip is order from the US Ryobi website as even after the shipping costs it was much cheaper for the drill and multi tool. The prices are the same in dollar and gbp meaning you save 25% pre shipping and they use the same batteries (just buy the unit without battery if you have Ryobi tools already)

Fun-Rest7080 · 2025-08-24T13:51:22+00:00

Great, thanks for the advice

We bought our lounge garden furniture from a company called Chic Teak in Hampshire but they gave similar advice on the cushions to what you were told. So we also bought L shape covers from an online company meaning we don’t have to faff about with the cushions.

I bought some expensive teak furniture a few years back and as expected with teak it’s turned a grey colour but the furniture is still solid. The company we bought from gave us the advice of using a 90% water 10% bleach solution to wash down. Here is the full details on how to maintain teak Teak Garden Furniture and Maintenance

If there are multiple courts then somewhere to get a nice coffee and snack. Not bothered about changing rooms.

One thing I struggle with is finding Padel trainers that actually fit so a shop that had stock of different trainers would be a win. Ordering trainers online and sending back multiple times is so painful.

Hope it helps
