00:10:28,815 Y'all definitely, I'm there, man. 279 00:10:29,175 --> 00:10:30,945 Well, we had some bunch of questions, right? 280 00:10:30,975 --> 00:10:31,125 Yes. 281 00:10:31,125 --> 00:10:31,845 From our viewers. 282 00:10:31,845 --> 00:10:36,195 So, um, we're gonna go over that, you know, today, basic question, 283 00:10:36,195 --> 00:10:39,525 which is, I get it quite often from, from my experience, what is 284 00:10:39,525 --> 00:10:41,385 the most underrated shot in paddle? 285 00:10:41,715 --> 00:10:42,885 I think we both agreed on that, right? 286 00:10:42,885 --> 00:10:45,285 We both agreeing that that's gonna be the love man. 287 00:10:45,285 --> 00:10:47,055 The love, it's the most rated shot. 288 00:10:47,105 --> 00:10:48,375 It's, it's the most boring, right? 289 00:10:48,435 --> 00:10:49,605 But it's the most effective. 290 00:10:49,725 --> 00:10:49,965 Yes. 291 00:10:49,965 --> 00:10:52,275 I mean it, you can use it any times when you're in a tight 292 00:10:52,275 --> 00:10:53,505 situation or your partner's out of. 293 00:10:54,450 --> 00:10:55,860 lab, it gives you time, right? 294 00:10:56,070 --> 00:10:56,160 Yes. 295 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:57,900 If you got people attacking that, that. 296 00:10:58,850 --> 00:11:02,955 , you don't have to risk doing an a, a, you know, a, a difficult shot. 297 00:11:03,075 --> 00:11:06,735 Or you could do a lob yes, you know, uh, there's, you know, that's one of 298 00:11:06,735 --> 00:11:08,865 the best shots, but underrated for sure. 299 00:11:08,865 --> 00:11:13,155 Look, in, in, in paddle, you have to master the, the lob period. 300 00:11:13,635 --> 00:11:16,275 And in paddle we have three different type of LOBs. 301 00:11:16,335 --> 00:11:19,545 So that's why, and there is also a proper technique for the lobsters. 302 00:11:20,025 --> 00:11:24,585 So that's why it is not just hitting a lo, hitting the ball up, but 303 00:11:24,705 --> 00:11:27,975 nowhere to hit it, hit it with a purpose, and there is a proper. 304 00:11:28,365 --> 00:11:31,365 That's why it's so important for you to take lessons in paddle. 305 00:11:31,515 --> 00:11:34,526 You know, one is called the rainy lob, or, or, or jdo is the one 306 00:11:34,531 --> 00:11:35,595 that goes really, really high. 307 00:11:35,595 --> 00:11:39,465 And you see the, the, the professional place and it comes straight, straight, 308 00:11:39,735 --> 00:11:43,125 uh, straight, straight down and, and it's very difficult to hit. 309 00:11:43,130 --> 00:11:47,055 The other one is the fast lob, the other one is the one with back spin on it. 310 00:11:47,445 --> 00:11:50,745 So there, there are certain LOBs that you have to master, but it has to 311 00:11:50,745 --> 00:11:53,125 be the most underrated shot in tens. 312 00:11:53,130 --> 00:11:54,885 It's always the last resource shot and you don't. 313 00:11:55,665 --> 00:11:56,685 Train it or anything. 314 00:11:56,689 --> 00:11:56,775 Right? 315 00:11:56,775 --> 00:12:00,665 I mean, you don't bat in paddle, you have to train the lo. 316 00:12:00,670 --> 00:12:00,704 Yeah. 317 00:12:00,854 --> 00:12:01,185 Okay. 318 00:12:01,185 --> 00:12:04,844 And that's why it's the most underrated shot in, in, in our case. 319 00:12:04,844 --> 00:12:07,694 You know, I think we're, we should do a video lesson on, on the lab, right? 320 00:12:07,699 --> 00:12:08,234 Yeah, definitely. 321 00:12:08,234 --> 00:12:10,155 We should, we should do a video lesson on it. 322 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:16,574 So, uh, the next one, uh, well I have quite a few, but, uh, I think 323 00:12:16,574 --> 00:12:19,155 one, this one is gonna go up to you. 324 00:12:19,515 --> 00:12:21,645 If I wanna open a paddle club, what should I. 325 00:12:22,334 --> 00:12:24,675 This, what should be this smartest approach? 326 00:12:25,035 --> 00:12:25,454 Oof. 327 00:12:25,454 --> 00:12:26,355 That's a tough one. 328 00:12:26,415 --> 00:12:28,574 Uh, I think that all depends on. 329 00:12:29,730 --> 00:12:33,900 If, uh, you have financial backing or if you're doing it yourself, um, 330 00:12:34,350 --> 00:12:38,240 you know, if you're just doing it yourself, I would, you know, probably, 331 00:12:38,850 --> 00:12:42,960 uh, do the least amount of possible so you can get your R R R E O, uh, and 332 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,060 return on investment back very quickly. 333 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:50,070 Um, if you do have investors and you have other verticals of revenue, I mean, 334 00:12:50,070 --> 00:12:52,050 then you can do something a little bit. 335 00:12:52,930 --> 00:12:55,360 Um, but I guess it all depends on, on that. 336 00:12:55,390 --> 00:13:00,880 But if I were you, um, I would focus on, uh, how much my fixed cost would be. 337 00:13:00,940 --> 00:13:05,860 If you can own the asset would be better, you know, the land, uh, and then 338 00:13:05,865 --> 00:13:08,620 maybe do something, um, not enclosed. 339 00:13:08,680 --> 00:13:13,000 You know, something very, uh, the least amount is possible and start 340 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,390 with three or four courts, depending on where you are, if you have to. 341 00:13:17,385 --> 00:13:19,155 , uh, you know, the people in that area. 342 00:13:19,245 --> 00:13:23,805 Then start with three, three quarts, uh, and make sure you can add another two, 343 00:13:23,895 --> 00:13:25,845 uh, if you, or three if you, if you can. 344 00:13:26,295 --> 00:13:28,755 Um, so that's kind of what I would suggest. 345 00:13:28,814 --> 00:13:31,095 I mean, I think we did a whole podcast on courts. 346 00:13:31,125 --> 00:13:31,454 Yes. 347 00:13:31,454 --> 00:13:34,185 And I, and I think another aspect of that is location. 348 00:13:34,185 --> 00:13:35,625 Location I think is very important. 349 00:13:35,625 --> 00:13:38,324 You know, you can, you can be in the middle of nowhere and 350 00:13:38,444 --> 00:13:39,704 you won't get any traffic. 351 00:13:39,704 --> 00:13:40,035 Right. 352 00:13:40,855 --> 00:13:44,045 My suggestion, when I do consulting for, for clubs and upcoming 353 00:13:44,045 --> 00:13:47,795 clubs, it's, I suggest them to do at least a minimum of six. 354 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,930 For the simple reason that if you wanna run programs and if you wanna 355 00:13:51,930 --> 00:13:55,110 monetize it, the, obviously the more courts, the more money you will 356 00:13:55,110 --> 00:13:57,930 make, uh, or, or you will generate. 357 00:13:58,380 --> 00:14:03,030 Um, so there are different aspects of it, but like he said, you know, oh, maybe do 358 00:14:03,035 --> 00:14:06,300 a hybrid type of thing that'll go indoor and outdoors will be also important. 359 00:14:06,449 --> 00:14:07,140 A smarter way to go. 360 00:14:07,140 --> 00:14:07,230 Yeah. 361 00:14:07,230 --> 00:14:11,100 So for instance, if you're in an area which nobody knows paddle you, 362 00:14:11,105 --> 00:14:13,140 you're not gonna put 12 paddle courts. 363 00:14:13,170 --> 00:14:14,730 But let's just say in the area, people. 364 00:14:15,185 --> 00:14:15,755 Pickle. 365 00:14:16,415 --> 00:14:20,104 So you may want to do three paddle courts and maybe three pickle courts, 366 00:14:20,314 --> 00:14:24,275 you know, and then kind of convert those pickle players into paddle. 367 00:14:24,334 --> 00:14:24,604 Yeah. 368 00:14:24,665 --> 00:14:28,084 And then convert those pickle courts back, back into the paddle. 369 00:14:28,114 --> 00:14:28,474 Correct. 370 00:14:28,564 --> 00:14:34,155 Um, if you're in an area which people are in no paddle, then, you know, you could 371 00:14:34,155 --> 00:14:37,485 put up to a courts and you're probably gonna do a decent job filling them. 372 00:14:37,485 --> 00:14:41,175 So it, it all depends, like, like you said, at the location. 373 00:14:41,325 --> 00:14:41,475 Yeah. 374 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,365 You know, um, location. 375 00:14:43,365 --> 00:14:46,335 Nobody knows about pedal location, where people do know about paddle. 376 00:14:46,335 --> 00:14:50,325 So, um, but if, again, if you're gonna do it on your own, uh, you 377 00:14:50,330 --> 00:14:54,195 know, if you're in New England or in an area where's not always warm, 378 00:14:54,225 --> 00:14:56,715 um, you, as long as you probably. 379 00:14:57,410 --> 00:15:02,359 A good, you probably lose maybe two months, but your cost of to do something 380 00:15:02,390 --> 00:15:05,359 in indoor, in indoors, and the time. 381 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,510 You know, is too long and the return on investment is too long. 382 00:15:09,930 --> 00:15:13,589 Uh, unless again, you have, um, you know, investors or other, 383 00:15:13,979 --> 00:15:15,300 other verticals of revenue. 384 00:15:15,479 --> 00:15:15,750 Exactly. 385 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:20,910 I mean, uh, subleasing or, or having, uh, uh, subleasing to many people in, 386 00:15:20,910 --> 00:15:23,670 in, in that facility is another former. 387 00:15:24,209 --> 00:15:24,300 Yeah. 388 00:15:24,359 --> 00:15:27,959 The verticals could be offer a, your classes, uh, fitness rooms. 389 00:15:28,020 --> 00:15:28,439 Uh, yeah. 390 00:15:28,844 --> 00:15:31,604 Other source of revenue, workout areas, you know? 391 00:15:31,604 --> 00:15:31,785 Yeah. 392 00:15:31,785 --> 00:15:33,645 The, the food and beverage, uh, option. 393 00:15:33,645 --> 00:15:37,395 It's, it's always very, very, uh, rewarding because you can make some good 394 00:15:37,395 --> 00:15:39,344 money in alcohol and, and, and food. 395 00:15:39,704 --> 00:15:43,155 Uh, but yeah, it's, it's, it has to be a whole package. 396 00:15:43,155 --> 00:15:44,295 It's not just paddle, but. 397 00:15:44,820 --> 00:15:47,940 You know, create that community where they come to the club and, 398 00:15:48,100 --> 00:15:50,880 and they feel welcome and, and they have different options. 399 00:15:50,910 --> 00:15:52,200 And it depends on your model too. 400 00:15:52,260 --> 00:15:56,670 I mean, you know, you may go with, you know, owning the asset, you 401 00:15:56,670 --> 00:15:58,340 know, the, the, the, the property. 402 00:15:58,500 --> 00:15:58,740 Yeah. 403 00:15:58,830 --> 00:16:02,191 And developing the company, getting a certain ebitda, and then selling it. 404 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,590 and then creating some passive income. 405 00:16:04,620 --> 00:16:09,180 Yeah, I mean, that's another model to look at and that's kind of how I look at 406 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:09,720 Yeah. 407 00:16:09,770 --> 00:16:10,410 At Paddle. 408 00:16:10,740 --> 00:16:13,949 Um, you know, cause I love paddle's more of a passion thing, but you, you 409 00:16:13,949 --> 00:16:17,265 know, it, it's really tough if you're in an area where the, the price per 410 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,959 square feet is so high doesn't make financial sense to do a, a paddle court. 411 00:16:21,959 --> 00:16:23,880 It just, just doesn't, you know? 412 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,160 Um, so you have to kind of be careful. 413 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,459 Um, I mean, you look at areas like, uh, here in Miami and 414 00:16:29,459 --> 00:16:30,750 also even in New York Paddle. 415 00:16:31,610 --> 00:16:35,520 I mean, it's so expensive and it has to be because, uh, the price 416 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:36,960 per square foot is so expensive. 417 00:16:37,199 --> 00:16:39,210 You know, one of the things that is happening is very interesting in 418 00:16:39,210 --> 00:16:41,880 that it's happening not only here in the United States, but all over the 419 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:46,170 world now, paddle cores are going up, and what, what I mean by that? 420 00:16:46,439 --> 00:16:51,840 They're going to, uh, rooftops, you know, there are many, many places that they have 421 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:57,480 parking lots where the top floor in the parking lot is always the empty one, and 422 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,790 now they're leasing or they're, they're. 423 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,170 those sun roof, you know, sun Yeah. 424 00:17:04,260 --> 00:17:04,950 Rooftops. 425 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,040 And they're building cords there because now you ha you have 426 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,329 no more land to build courts. 427 00:17:09,329 --> 00:17:09,390 Yeah. 428 00:17:09,395 --> 00:17:13,440 So now you're going up, and that's an very, it is happening Abu Dhabi. 429 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,370 It's happening in, in, in Europe where now they're building courts. 430 00:17:17,730 --> 00:17:21,360 We used to have courts in the past 10 courts and sun rule and sun, um, 431 00:17:21,569 --> 00:17:25,230 rooftops and same thing, uh, soccer fields and, and football fields. 432 00:17:25,260 --> 00:17:27,510 And a lot of these areas, if you can prove. 433 00:17:28,365 --> 00:17:29,835 Those aren't being used. 434 00:17:29,835 --> 00:17:30,105 Exactly. 435 00:17:30,105 --> 00:17:31,875 You can easily get a variance for it. 436 00:17:31,935 --> 00:17:32,175 Yeah. 437 00:17:32,235 --> 00:17:34,695 You know, so that's an interest constant, you know, for you 438 00:17:34,695 --> 00:17:35,715 guys to be looking around. 439
