00:00
Hey guys, I'm Darren McMullen.
00:28
I am the founder of Racket Club and we are here in our brand spanking new Canberra Racket
00:35
Club.
00:36
It is the only paddle and pickleball center in the capital.
00:40
Paddle is the fastest growing sport in the world for good reason.
00:43
It's highly addictive.
00:44
It's the same scoring as tennis, 15, 30, 40 game.
00:50
After six games, you win the set, whoever best of three sets wins the entire match.
00:55
Now, usually played in doubles, the glass is in play.
00:59
It's a little bit of squash, it's a little bit of tennis, a bit of geometry.
01:03
So I hope you paid attention to school and a whole lot of fun.
01:06
The only other thing you need to know is the serve is underhand.
01:09
So really anyone can play.
01:11
The big thing with tennis is it makes it so hard to enter into the game at an adult level
01:15
is the serve.
01:16
It's completely debilitating if you've got a guy who can serve.
01:19
This is a complete balancer, underarm serve, bounce to the ball, cross court like tennis,
01:24
game on.
01:25
Simple as that.
01:26
Come down, check us out, have some fun.
01:29
We have heaters, it's inside and we have a bar, more importantly.
01:38
So the glass comes into play.
01:40
One more of them.
01:43
And you can also hit it off the glass and over as well.
01:46
That counts too.
01:47
As long as it only touches your side on the ground once, you're good to go.
01:55
Out.
01:56
You can use all of the glasses in play to use to your advantage as well.
02:10
Out.
02:15
Anything on the full is out.
02:18
