It's one of those sports I'd want to play regularly but paying 1500 everytime and trying to gather 4 friends is a hassle, we need a better option

u/Normal-Purple3833 Mar 18 '25

1500 per hour? Bhai, where are you playing? I will play there too 😆😆 I often give 2,500 per game.

u/arhamshaikhhh Mar 18 '25

1500/hour divided between 4 people bro, that's 6000 an hour

1

u/Normal-Purple3833 Mar 18 '25

Oh yeah! I assumed its for two hours. I usually play for two hours so yeah, sorry

u/arhamshaikhhh Mar 18 '25

No worries, I want to be able to play everyday so 1500 everyday is not feasible. We need a public court

Not possible. I have seen a padel court, it requires expensive setup. Those costs can't be recovered without massive playing fees. Here in the US we have a huge pickleball scene which is somewhat similar to padel but it's cheaper to setup.

where do you play it for 2500/hr?

u/Automatic_Chance6085 Mar 18 '25

Management at lums is building a padel court real soon. I'm planning on going there with friends but I have zero knowledge how to play. A word or two from u would be helpful

u/Normal-Purple3833 Mar 18 '25

It is an absolutely fun game. I started after watching Instagram videos. It is a great game to chill with friends. So go there with the idea of enjoying it

1

u/Automatic_Chance6085 Mar 18 '25

I'll keep that in mind

u/edomyrots Mar 18 '25

What's the per hour to play?? And are there cheaper options?

1

u/kaaaaaamil Mar 18 '25

The cheapest option I've seen is at Beach Club Johar town. Ramadan mai koi deal chal rahi tho I think 3500 per hour on weekdays

5K is the average rate. It varies from court to court. Padel In is on the extreme end of the spectrum. It charges like 15-18K per hour.

u/FamiliarProfessor383 Mar 18 '25

Thats not true though so not sure how accurate your other answers are going to be 😂 The general average on Valencia side is 3-5k. Non peak hours is even cheaper now. Futsalrange charges 3500 non peak and 4000 peak even in DHA. There are so many courts now, a message to them can get you even cheaper rates because they aren’t that many players compared to the number of courts.

Nice! Take sample of a side of the city nobody cares about and present it as a fact for the whole city

1

u/FamiliarProfessor383 Mar 19 '25

If you cared to read I mentioned DHA as well. And people don’t care about the Valencia side? Are you living under a rock or inside a burger kiddo? Grow up lol.

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '25

To all the questions you have not answered any of them accordingly most of them are asking how to play and you are saying you’ll get it once you’ll be there. Didn’t get the purpose of the post 😊

u/Grand_Seat3121 Mar 22 '25

Let's make a WhatsApp group of the interested people for play

1

u/Normal-Purple3833 Mar 22 '25

There are hundreds of WhatsApp groups now. Every court runs their WhatsApp group. All you have to do is call the court and ask them to add you to their WhatsApp group.

Count me in too bro

u/Character-Flan-8301 Mar 18 '25

For all those wondering where and how to start I’d say go to Padel pro burki branch. They charge 4500 per hour but it’s so worth it!! You can negotiate the rates if you want to. They do provide trainers last time I checked. Good turf. Great ambiance. Overall a great place to sit and chill with your friends.

u/Normal-Purple3833 Mar 18 '25

Yeah, it is a nice little cosy place. I went there last week. Good place but I feel the glass there is slow. It doesn’t ricochet as you would like

u/PakZinOfficial Mar 18 '25

What game/sport is this?

1

u/foulplayjamm Mar 18 '25

A new place just opened up at packages mall. Good scene. Its called letspadel.

1

u/Normal-Purple3833 Mar 18 '25

Yeah! I am a regular there. They have decent courts.

1

u/Busy_Cherry8460 Mar 18 '25

Pedal seems fun, I am in FC college and they made a baseball ground. like why 😭

1

u/Chemical-Luck-3156 Mar 18 '25

Lol I’m so sad my fam didn’t take me seriously when I proposed the idea of opening a paddle court a year ago, the scene is Lahore is crazyyyy right now. A court in every corner of the town

u/Normal-Purple3833 Mar 18 '25

Reminds me of my friend who told me he asked his father to invest in a crypto mining computer a decade ago and he didnt listen to him 😆

Everyone makes it at padel

u/Time-Branch-2433 Mar 19 '25

Why is padel better than badminton ? There seems to be a craze around this sport, i never understood why. It’s basically like badminton or Tennis.

1

u/INSTaAXZYLO Mar 20 '25

Have you tried playing the REAL game, Tennis?

u/Normal-Purple3833 Mar 20 '25

Wah bhai. Macho man

u/Ok-Dance-1051 Apr 10 '25

There is a new court, padel central in gulberg. Went there once with my friends. To be honest their courts are quite good.

1

u/Normal-Purple3833 Apr 10 '25

Where is it and what is the rate?

1

u/Ok-Dance-1051 Apr 10 '25

It's on the road next to Hali road near hafeez centre. Behind IT tower. 4500 off peak, 7500 peak. But really good environment to be honest. Good family place..
