Le padel is an exciting sport. But it can be dangerous at times. On a plot of padel, we are 4 players, a few meters from each other. A tennis ball is used that is hard, and players often hit hard at all skill levels.

For the men, let's be honest, we don't necessarily control our strength in relation to the technique we have. Conclusion: it can hurt a lot…. And the private parts are sometimes affected.

The question we are asking you: Should you impose the wearing of a shell to protect yourself?

In Spain, some players wear it to avoid past mishaps. These are shells or protections that look like those used in boxing.

Around us, we necessarily know someone who found himself lying for a while, struck by the smash of one of his opponents. Sometimes it takes several days to recover.

Another theme, but linked to this one: The eyes. Sometimes it is the eyes that are hit by a bullet. In Spain, there too, some regions require the wearing of glasses during competitions for children.

Should we do the same?

Squash for example, this protection is strongly recommended, because we see accidents, retinal detachments, etc.

For or against compulsory protection? It's up to you to tell us.
