As most of us join the playing fields paddle By car, by bike or on foot, with a well-filled bag on their shoulder, some seem to want to push the limits of style. In a scene worthy of an action film, a player has chosen to land on the pitches of paddle in… helicopter ! Yes, you read that right.

And not just any helicopter : A black Falcon, model usually used for military operations. Enough to impress your opponents before you even exchange the first ball. Imagine for a moment: while you adjust your sunglasses and prepare your balls, a helicopter lands a few meters away, and a player comes down, racket in hand. Clearly, the surprise effect is total.

While this type of finish does not guarantee a victory on the track, it certainly deserves the award for the most spectacular entrance. After all, the paddle, it is also a question of show, right? So, for those who dream of making an impression as soon as they arrive at the club, it might be time to book a flight… or find a good sponsor.

In the meantime, we'll continue to put on our good old worn-out sneakers and take our trusty car. Because, in the end, it's not thehelicopter who makes the player, but rather what he is capable of producing on the track.

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 !
