Why I started Openplay
I love padel. When I saw how fast the game was growing in Ireland, with new courts opening every month, I decided to turn that passion into a business.
That's also why Openplay does more than sell rackets. I want to know how the sport is moving here, so we track every padel court on the island and publish the numbers. Today that's 346 open courts at 97 venues, and we update it as new ones open.
The shop works the same way: a focused range from Bullpadel, Babolat, NOX, adidas and HEAD, honest descriptions, and help choosing if you're not sure. If you're new to the game, we'll point you to the right racket, even when that's the cheaper one.
