I'm looking for Paddle Tennis courts in or near Irvine, CA. (Not Ping Pong - this is tennis at 1/3 scale.)
A friend took me to play Paddle Tennis at a court in Culver City, CA and now I'm hooked. I live in Orange County and I cannot locate a place to play this sport.
Just to be clear. This is not a ping pong table game. It's played on a court that looks like a tennis court, but it's one-third the size of a tennis court. The net is the same height and the line markings are similar to tennis specifications.
The biggest difference between Paddle Tennis and Tennis is the racket itself. A Paddle Tennis racket is slightly smaller than a racquetball racket, but it has no strings. It's flat, like a smashball racket (w/ multiple 1/4" air holes as well), but it's about 1/2" thick and it's made of a hard composite material instead of wood. The surface of the paddle is textured.
You play w/ special non-pressurized tennis balls. This deadens the ball, which is perfect for the size of the court.
I got a great workout and I want to play again, but I can't locate a court near me.

This won't be much help, but Venice Beach, CA has Paddle Tennis courts. I bike on the weekend from Venice to Palisades and I always see the courts full. Not sure if you need reservations, so you might want to call for information on that. Irvine to Venice is a far trip, but I thought I'd throw this spot your way in case you may want to check out. You could play, then check out the scene afterwards. Enjoy the beach and/or walk the Venice strip and check out the shops and street performers.
