Hyderabad: A relatively new paddle sport called Zapminton is drawing attention among recreational players looking for an easy-to-learn alternative to traditional racquet games that can be played almost anywhere.
Described by the company as a mix of paddle and racquet games, Zapminton is designed for casual play and can be enjoyed indoors or outdoors. According to the brand, the game can be played in living rooms, backyards, parks and even on beaches, making it a flexible option for families and friends.
Combining elements of badminton and paddle sports, Zapminton uses handheld paddles, specially designed birdies and a portable net that can be set up in minutes without the need for a dedicated court.
“We recently got our hands on Zapminton and it has turned out to be such a fun game. My husband and I even play in our living room. It is easy to carry and set up, and we often take it along when visiting friends,” said Anushka Raj, a candle maker.
Interest in portable and family-friendly sports has grown in recent years, with games that can be played across age groups becoming increasingly popular.
“I loved playing badminton and tennis while I was in school, but with work and kids it is difficult to make time for regular court sessions. I recently tried Zapminton and have been enjoying it. It gives us a chance to spend quality time together as a family without the hassle of travelling to a court,” said Sonali, an accountant.
Priced at Rs 6,999 for the complete set and Rs 1,499 for a pair of paddles, Zapminton is designed for quick and easy play. With a setup time of under two minutes, the game is emerging as an option for those seeking a fun, accessible activity that can be enjoyed almost anywhere.
