Here’s the story in 30 seconds…
Dov Penzik has spent 15 years building some of the most successful entertainment concepts in the world.
He launched Bounce in London during the 2012 Olympics.
Then helped scale Flight Club Darts and Puttshack across major U.S. cities by turning simple games into high‑demand social experiences.
Lately, he kept seeing the same problem across hundreds of padel clubs:
Padel is a great sport, but every club looks and operates the same.
Once you’re on the court, the experience is identical.
There is no differentiation, no technology layer, and the constant need to organize games kills how often people play.
So he co‑founded No Strings to create a padel experience that organizes itself, scores itself, and keeps players coming back.
This week we spoke with Dov Penzik, Co‑Founder of No Strings and the builder behind some of the most successful social‑entertainment venues in the UK and U.S.
No Strings is making padel fully automated.
The court keeps the score, calls the lines, rotates matches, and places you in the right sessions automatically, supported by a post‑match space for social and corporate groups.
Today, No Strings is aiming to open its first flagship site in late 2026.
Then it looks to expand through flagship clubs, licensed locations, and a global platform that brings its smart‑court system to clubs around the world.
