In this episode of Ball Slapping, Dan and Christian sit down with Phil (Felipe Borges), the founder of Tens Finest, the number one street media brand for the sport of Handball.

We talk about how Tens Finest started, what drives him and how the brand has become a movement across wallball, handball, paddle communities. Phil opens up about building a YouTube channel from scratch and the importance of what he does in the wider picture of the sport's success. He gives a ton of advice for other YouTube, Instagram and TikTok creators about how to get going and consolidate.

A must listen for anyone who loves filming a game or two of any sport. If you're into wallball, 1-wall handball, street sport, paddle, community sport, sports branding, YouTube or Sports Media - or Tens Finest - then this is the episode for you.

Join us from Mexico City as we attend (and play in) the 2025 World Frontball Championships. We'll be joined by co-host Danielle Daskalakis - one of the best female handball athletes of all time, as we check out the event, meet the players and the guy who set the whole thing up - Jean-Michel Idiart.

Frontball is a handball variant - heavy ball, one wall, line to hit it above. Expect long sloggy rallies!

Gaz and Dan hop back to 2009 — Portland, Oregon — for a trip down memory lane. It’s the World Handball Championships, where legends were made, friendships were forged, and the nights were almost as wild as the games. Expect nostalgia, chaos, and a few questionable memories.

Paul Brady got a 3rd title, Willie Polanco and Rookie Wright cleaned up the 1-Wall, and the English both landed on two feet and invented a banging new game!
