How To Make a Tennis BY HAND?! | Jeu de Paume
I travelled to Paris, France and had the opportunity to check the Société Sportive du Jeu de Paume et de Racquets. Rod, the head pro, showed me how he makes the tennis balls for Jeu de Paume by hand.
If you're wondering, jeu de paume was the first version of tennis, started in France in the 1400s in a monastery. It was originally played with their hands, hence the translation "game of the palm". The game popularized in England when it transition to lawn tennis and anyone could buy a net, racquets, and balls and play on their own.
