"It's world wide. It's beyond Charlotte, it's beyond North Carolina, it's a world-wide thing. There's something kind of neat about that I think," said Langley while holding his new 9 foot tall paddle with a rubber ball attached.
The Guinness world record for the most paddleballs controlled simultaneously is 7 and was achieved by Steve Langley aka The Paddle Ball King on the set of Lo Show Dei Record, in Milan, Italy.
Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the biggest ever replica baseball bat; it is 120 feet in height and weights 68,000 pounds (30,844 kg) and was made by bat manufacturer Hillerich Bradsby, from Louisville, Kentucky (USA).
"Usually when people see it, it gets a chuckle or a laugh, but then when I start actually doing it, they love it," said Langley about his recent public performances with the giant paddle.
"I like making people smile and I enjoy the sound of laughter. Laughter is like the sound of a smile."
