Ball Slaps
United Kingdom
Приєднався 26 чер 2023
Welcome to my second channel all about my other passion. SLAPPING BALLS! I have been known to slap balls for my country and now I'm going to travel the world and slap balls with my hand, a racquet, a padel and anything else I can find in as many games as possible. I'll meet the top athletes, go to the most iconic courts and give you my full review on how good it was to SLAP THOSE BALLS.
Welcome. Come slap a ball with me.

Pelota Teruel Style! Saving the old with a slice of the new. #pelota #handball
Here's a mini-documentary about pelota in Teruel - a city outside of Valencia in Spain. It was a pleasure to be invited to this awesome event and try Teruel Pelota. Here they're trying to save the traditional version of the sport - played in towns on old buildings, by replicating the courts in modern facilities and inviting players from all across Spain and around the world. It was a cracking good time!
Thank you to Rafa Garcia for organising the event and being so helpful. Thank you to the CIJB for helping fund it. Well done to all the players, especially the Argentinians who won it (congrats Nico Comas and Santi) and thanks to government officials who recognise the importance of these traditional niche sports.

Irish Big Alley Handball - aka 60 by 30. Soft & Hardball!
Переглядів 947Місяць тому
It was a pleasure to go Ballina Handball Club last month to try out Big Alley Irish Handball. A huge court where it's easily apparent where the Irish get their power and their fist whip. Thanks to Ger for taking us down and for introducing us to the Softball and the Hardball. We were warned that the hardball was really quite difficult but actually, as UK Fives players, we found it much easier t...

Paul's love of handball is infectious. In fact take a drink every time he says he loves it! He loves it so much he set up an apparel company for it called Killshot Gloves. Quickly the most visible brand in the world, the shirts and gloves are worn by some of the top athletes in the world and the company is an official partner of the European Tour. What a great interview!!

Interview with world no.1 Danielle Daskalakis
I remember seeing him early on at A1 indoor courts in long island, he was very fresh and inexperienced but his potential and athleticism were obvious to everyone, i knew he was going somewhere if he stuck with the sport, glad he did
ua-cam.com/video/lmBnFw63Tr0/v-deo.htmlsi=kmKkufkWfCf1Gswd El Siquahs ( a mano ) gran deporte lamentable te muy infravalorado; deberías de hacer un video acerca.
Cool
amazing stuff
dude! nice content
awesome thanks!
El deporte es de origen vasco , señor anglo , orgullosos de nuestra herencia hispana y de nuestro mestizaje cultural y racial , algo diferente a lo que hicieron los anglos en norte América
Woah 😨.
Olivia Collins was great in the 90s 😂
I play fronton in my home town guadalajara where stitch is from, leave on Seattle now and still playing fronton up here (handball) let me know when you come up here
I'm from México my dad loves this sport, but I don't. I am really proud of him to keep practicing this beautiful and difficult sport....
That was fascinating! Loved learning about the history of hand ball games.
❤❤❤
This seems somewhat similar to GAA hardball, which had its championship last weekend.
Very loosely similar. The ball is much bigger and heavier, the courts much shorter and a line to hit it over. Different techniques and skills required. I did a bit of hardball in the last vid. Would be really interesting to see some of the Spanish play hardball, I suspect they'd have some interesting approaches!
Well done Dan great interview, good luck to Paul and Killshot keep up the great work 👍👍
Looking forward to the rugby fives video. I would love to see videos about the other british games, as well!
Thanks. I aim to cover Rugby, Winchester, Eton Fives, Welsh Handball, Some ancient courts too. Moving away from the hands - Real Tennis, Rackets, Pickle and Padel. If you have any other suggestions of British games too please let me know!
@@BallSlaps Those four were what I meant, really! Perhaps Warminster Fives as well?
Awesome man. I miss it. So many stories. I your doing great work.
Thanks bro!
Hey, you went to a main event! Thanks for the video! You should try frontball instead, its similar to the handball
Thank you! I have - it's one of my other videos :)
Nice video
Thanks for posting this interview. Shout out to his small ball partner, Fast Eddie Maisonet, another great player in his own right.
Saludos y gran video, yo te vi ese día.🎉😎
Que gran video y gracias por tener esa perspectiva de nuestro Frontón en México, espero que puedas asistir a más jugadas en la Ciudad de México en diferentes canchas porque cambia el estilo de juego. Saludos amigo y bienvenido 🫂😎👋🏼🥎
Gracias amigo
You get the exact same effect with a golf ball. I've played 60x40 and 40x20 for many years. Always had fun with the odd golf ball. Once it comes off the wall it's gone.
Kells Handball Club in Co. Meath has a superb 60x40 alley, it also has an outdoor alley. This is a great alley.
Great video, Dan. Stone ball alleys are located all over Ireland, but alas many have fallen into disuse. Hopefully pieces like this can revive some interest in the old skool handball.
Let's hope so!!
That court is around 30m long
Thank you to come and visit México courts!
CAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tha boy wack
Is it harder than a fives ball?
Much much harder
@@BallSlaps Wow, we’re talking concrete then!
If you haven't seen the full video I've inserted a clip of the world champs final. You can hear it crack around in that. Impressive stuff!
Stich is the best
What bs is this. This is handball
You're gonna want to watch more of this channel. Your idea of handball will be blown wide open
Nice video Dan and very well presented.
Thanks so much!
Good man, Dan!
Thank you!
wow TAVO I follow you, Great job on the W and to everyone else !
Very interesting! You should head to Ireland and play 4 wall and 60x30
It's on the cards
The card is now dealt 😉
Y Jessi (borracho), Chuchin, Chirrios, ay muchos solo mensione los 3 mejores.
Great video reminds me of the 60 by 30 game in Ireland
What a fascinating sport! Such history! Not so much the decapitation thing …
Nice video!
Thanks!
loved this video, watched it right as I am packing for mexico city
Have fun!
I moved to Alberta Canada from Ireland and I’ve been playing four wall handball out here for a good while. There’s a good community. You should play on the 60 by 30 fourwall court man- it would be great to see it introduced to the world by such a good spokesman.
Thanks man, I'd love too. I hope to be in Canada at some point over the next couple of years. Who should I reach out to there? I didn't know they had 60x30 out there! Amazing stuff!
@@BallSlaps sorry mate I should clarify, Ireland is the only place that has an active 60 by 30 game. I play 40 by 20 in Canada.
Time to check out the latest video 😉
What kind of ball are they playing with? It sounds pretty heavy.
If you skip to 4.40 you can see the ball. It's like baseball but not tightly wrapped so it feels a little spongey and doesn't bounce a great deal
That was fun and really interesting!
Back when I was 13 my first ever big nyc tourney win I win the icha junior big blue 13 and under tournament I beat Los in the finals sky rocketed me to keep playing and eventually got my A card at 24 . Thank you Paul :) legend
Oscar is a Beast
Wow, so cool. Looking at the Winchester game, reminds me of Tennis. If you are looking at ultimate "in play" look at the Hobart Tennis Club court, penthouse wall, between and above the windows are in play. A good vid to check this out is the 2019 world doubles championship. As a bottom of the world person, can't wait to see rackets and fives in person. I visited Queens one day in 2010 but the rackets courts were closed according to some old guy called Howard. Mentioned at a tennis gathering to remember Brad Dale that I got a call to say that there is a new member who "was about as bad as I was" The guy to my right (tennis professional) said "Fuck, no one could be tat bad". The following day on the plane, I remembered who Howard was :-(
Would like to see Oscar go to Florida to play willow 1 vs 1 on 3 wall. I think it’ll be a great game. I’ve seen him in Ft. Lauderdale but don’t think they ever played 3 wall
Dq definitely. Why cause i would be dq.

What is the name of the venue? I am planning on going this year and want to get a hotel as close as possible.
Tavernes Blanques
Thank you for providing video footage. Is there a youtube channel for the Madrid open?
There no UA-cam channel but I'll cover it here if I can go and it will be shared on @euro1wall
