Padel Buzz - Jean-Marc Morandini, radio host and TV presenter, talks about the fashionable sport that is padel on its website and in particular via This link.

He takes up in the M6 ​​report the intervention of Cédric Carité, one of the best French players of padel and manager of Padel Tennis Academy

Cédric Carité explains that "le padel, it's a lazy sport".

Jean-Marc Morandini then wonders if the padel is "really a sport of feigning as a stakeholder says in the following topic?"

We answer you:

Obviously Cédric Cartié says it with a lot of humor. But there are many truths in his speech.

1 / The rules are very simple and resume much of the rules of tennis.

2 / To padel, we have the right to do almost everything. Even going out of the field to catch the ball… What other sport allows it?

3 / The padel is the sport of the second chance because the ball can come back towards you and thus make it possible to return the ball.

4 / The less we do it the better:

  • Big gestures like tennis, finished.
  • Services like tennis, finished.
  • Halls like tennis, finished.
  • No time, no land limit as there is a rebound first.

Au padel, it is better to do as little as possible. It is rather succinct as a speech, however, it is largely true as much on the technical level as on the regulation part.

Of course the discourse will evolve if it is a question of improvement and not of initiation.

So Cédric Carité is right to say that it is better to do as little as possible in the gestures and even in the displacement. Why ?
In this case, the ball comes back to you if the ball is allowed to pass. If we try at all costs to go to the ball as tennis, there are chances of being misplaced and not to touch the ball while waiting for the ball, not only we save but more it's the ball that will go to you.

If you have more questions, do not hesitate and keep talking about it! 🙂
