The question often comes up in the world of padel:  Who has the best hand?  Asked by  Twenty Ten ,  Paquito Navarro  played along with a series of quizzes, comparing players one after another, solely on the  hand quality .

The journey is revealing.  Tolito Aguirre  passes several laps, ahead  Alex Chozas ,  I fight Capra , proof of the respect Paquito has for his  natural talent But that's precisely the point.  Gonza Alfonso  who then prevailed against  Mati Díaz  et  Fede Chingotto , before falling to  Juan Lebrón .

Lebrón continues his journey against  mike yanguas  et  Momo González before stumbling over  Sanyo Gutiérrez At that point, Paquito acknowledges that the level is becoming very high. But  Sanyo  gets eliminated by  Cristian Gutiérrez before it collided with  Agustín Tapia .

And that's where the debate takes on another dimension.  Juan Martín Díaz  vs  Wall Paquito hesitated for a long time. I thought I was going to stop there… you've touched a nerve. " he says, aware that he is comparing two absolute benchmarks. Unable to decide immediately, he even speaks of equality , before changing his mind.

His final choice then becomes clear:  Juan Martín Díaz .

A surprising choice, perhaps, in the era of modern padel dominated by  Wall ,  Lebrón  ou  Sanyo Gutiérrez , but which takes on its full meaning coming from Paquito.  Juan Martín Díaz , with whom he shared the stage for a long time, embodies for him the  ultimate hand , the one that combines  playing the game ,  precision And  toucher .

In this very personal ranking,  Juan Martín Díaz  He therefore surpasses players considered to be absolute technical masters. A powerful tribute to a  padel legend and a reminder that, despite the evolution of the game, some hands simply remain  timeless .

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
