To enable our friend Sefi to get back into the game, a team of Saron Paz, Zvika Markfeld and Tomer Daniel developed what they call “HeadPong”, creating an experience of playing Matkot that can be controlled with a player’s mouth. Inside of the paddle are a number of sensors and vibrators that make the experience engaging and fun, creating the feeling of impact and the calming (or infuriating) sound that is music to Matkot players’ ears.
Those who love the quiet of the splashing of the waves know that Israeli beaches are simply not the place you will find your zen. This is largely on account of the Israeli obsession with Matkot. Matkot is either exhilarating or obnoxious, depending on your take, but there is no arguing with the fact that Israelis simply love it.
The need knower, Sefi, wants to play Matkot, an Israeli game.
