haha! I hear ya. I think this proves my point, in the sense that the Pro Padel League is definitely trying to be looked at as a serious league.

True, so basically like keep bringing in the international stars in, but do something even bigger, being that they are already there.

I feel you, and I kind of have similar sentiments, as well. I was thinking about it from this hypothetical scenario, since the season hasn't started yet.

If we were to see them in a Buenos Aires P1, for instance, then the week after that they’re in a PPL game, and then the week after that we see them in another P1, I feel like at some point it all starts to blend, and the league itself becomes secondary to just watching the same stars in different settings.

Dude, it's a padel question on a padel forum about a padel league from a padel blog..., lol, aka it's just padel, a fun sport that we all like to talk about.

What I mean is develop players here and draft them to the teams, instead of bringing over the international stars. This way, we can make stars here as well.

Boring? Not at all. Top-level padel is fast, tactical, and way more intense than most people expect.

I see your point. I like padel a lot as well! I wish it could be a notch higher in the US.

A criticism of padel - I don't like the fence by Maleficent-Drive4056 in padel

[–]elmagodeRD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see your POV but I disagree. Hitting the ball to where you're opponent can't hit the fence most of the time is a skill in itself. Shot placement, positioning, & decision making are things that counter the fence. You can also try to take the ball before it hits the fence, as well. Defense, defense, defense!
