I Played a Touchtennis Money Tournament… DID I WIN??
A post went up on the touchtennis IG promoting a secret pop up touchtennis tournament with £500 prize money.
I entered, competed and, in this video, I take you along with me!
Let me know what you think of this format?

@iceman1125 9 месяцев назад

thanks, I just cant get the hype around PB. They play with that horribly sounding plastic ball which induces zero skills, one can just play this version of tennis in a smaller court with arguably better strokes and a nicer sound experience.@@touchtennis

yeah smaller court you can be quicker if the ball allows it, the same with ping pong and squash@@rafifmuhammad5713

Wow just discovered this sport. As Im a massive tennis fan, I love playing with tennis foam balls.Use to do this here in our street sometimes against wall. This sport is so cool! Here in Germany almost nobody knows it. But you can use a regular tennis racket? Small regular tennis racket?

@TheTennisMentor 9 месяцев назад

Hey Tim, it’s great fun! You can use any 21inch racket but the key is using the official touchtennis ball (this is what makes the rallies look and feel like tennis. Normal foam balls travel too slowly and don’t really react to spins.

This is great, with the boom in pickleball do you think touch tennis has a chance to grow in a similar manner?

@YesSirPhil 9 месяцев назад

My humble guess is "no". Too much movement and technique required in touch tennis compared to pickleball and so not so much fun for a non tennis player / average person to play from scratch.

@winnie3257 9 месяцев назад

Do you competitive Touchtennis guys put poly strings on your racquets?, are all 21 inch racquets good or are some better than others?

@TheTennisMentor 9 месяцев назад

Personally, I just use factory strings, however some of the players are more fussy… @rashidahmad69 is the best man to ask for advice!

@touchtennis 9 месяцев назад

I use natural gut in the mains. Standard strings are good for most players. The G.O.A.T racquets all come incredibly well strung out of the factory.
