Illustrated walkthroughs showing what to play and why it works.
- They Keep Returning to Your Partner? Change Where You ServeIf every return goes to your partner, your serve is choosing that. Serve to the side glass from one side and to the middle from the other to pull the return back to you.
- The Anti-Lob Cheat Code in Padel: Prepare Early, Let It BounceRead the lob before it is hit, turn side-on instead of backpedalling, and choose between bandeja and letting it bounce. How to answer a lob without losing the net.
- Do Not Set Your Partner Up to Lose the Point in PadelA soft ball from the back while your partner is at the net gets played straight at their feet. Hit fast at the body instead and the block comes back as an easy ball.
- Do Not Stand Too Close to the Fence in Padel: Stay Under 4 MetresHugging your side fence opens a gap in the middle nobody covers. Stay on the same line as the ball and keep under four metres between you and your partner.
