Martin – Founder and Lead Reviewer, PadelSensation
Hi, I’m Martin – the person behind PadelSensation. I’m 40, and a few years ago I picked up a padel racket just to get some exercise. It turned into a genuine passion I look forward to every day.
On this site, I write about the things I wish someone had told me when I started: training that actually works, tactics, and equipment that’s worth your time and money. I’m constantly testing new rackets and accessories, visiting different clubs across the UK and Europe, and playing in amateur tournaments – sometimes I win, sometimes I don’t. I write honest, candid reviews: no hype, just my genuine take.
