Always excited to improve my padel game! Using the glass as a trampoline for your body to propel forward after defensive returns; the glass is your friend in many ways:)

Really good, solid advice for those getting into this fantastic game. I certainly resisted using the glass at first, until I realised how much more time it gives you to play an effective return. I now consider the bajada to be one of my better shots - love it! I’d like to add an observation if I may. It’s great see padel really taking off in the UK, and we are getting players on holiday coming into our club in Spain for a few games. We always make them very welcome! I do, though, wonder about the coaching some seem to be getting. In the past three or four weeks I’ve played with visitors who are reasonable players, well beyond beginner, but who struggle with service rules. Two men who had each had courses of lessons were perplexed to be picked up on illegal service action. One was striking the ball on serving nearer shoulder height than waist, the other was running into his serve to the extent that his foot was on or completely over the service line at point of contact. Each considered their serve to be a strong-point in their game, and both insisted that their coach and playing partners had never advised them otherwise. After being allowed quite a few ‘lets’ while the errors were pointed out, both struggled to deliver an effective serve when restricted to a legal action. Like I say, it’s just an observation, and I certainly DID refer them to the Padel School video library for clear instructions and advice!

Hey! Thanks for your lovely feedback and interesting insights here. It's great to have you as part of The Padel School team and hear from players like yourself with such detailed information. Keep it up and keep in touch!

[@NadeemKhan-vh5ik]

Thank you 👍 bro

[@ThePadelSchool]

Welcome 👍

[@Jemapelbulgarel]

Put it into practice today, especially the "come to the net close" thing, I dominated the match!

[@ThePadelSchool]

This is great to hear. Keep it up!

[@youngsuit]

i watch a lot of these videos, and i think what would help me more than tips themselves are drills with specific focuses. i know you have drills on your channel, just saying that i think they're more useful.

[@ΓιωργοςΚακαβας-ε7γ]

Hello People, I do have a question for you. I am playing on the right side using the Wilson Bela Elite V2 Racket. However, lately, I do not fill that I have full control of my game. Do I keep it and try to fix my personal mistakes? I was thinking of switching my racket with either Adidas Adipower CTRL 3.2 or the Adidas Adipower Multiweight Ctrl. What do you think of these rackets, and compared to Bela Elite? Or feel free to suggest any other rackets that come to your mind. Regarding my game as a left-handed right player, I tend to be offensive but way less than my partner, I feel I lack control of the game lately. Thanks in advance!!

[@ThePadelSchool]

It really depends on you as a player. Have you had the chance to try any out and see how they feel, even just in your hand? This is a great question though, and something that would be excellent to be shared in our community pages which are very active with players and The Padel School coaches. We are currently offering a 7 day free trial for this, as well as all of our brand new courses, so why don't you try it out in there? thepadelschool.com/

Great & informative video, as always! Used to play tennis for years, recently switched to padel. I have played a few times to get to know the game & game flow and different shots. Right now I want to buy my own racket, since it is cheaper in the long run than renting every time. I just started playing padel, but I recognized I'm not a total novice. I'm more like a low/mid intermediate. It's hard to tell what kind of player I am, that's why I'm just exploring and experimenting a lot. I might say right now I lean a bit more to control & placement, rather than power. I've come across these two (quite cheap because of the discount haha) rackets: Adidas Traxsel Control & Adidas Kanaga Control. What do you think? Are these options a good consideration? I thought round was - in general - a good choice because I'm new to the game. I've talked to quite some people selling rackets, but not everyone knows a lot about it. That's why I would really like the opinion/recommendation of a pro in the game! Greetings from the Netherlands!

As a leftie its really hard to learn both sides in padel, i always play on the forehand side. I have actually started practising playing right handed so i can play both hands :)

[@Funkytrip73]

I play with other lefties sometimes and one of us has to sacrifice their favorite side then ;-) Advantage on the left side is that you get ten times as many balls as on the right, so you can really practice those glass balls more. On the right side it's often watching your buddy get everything until he goofs up a bit and the opponents smash the ball right into your face (or they goof up and you can step in and be the hero on that point)

[@ThePadelSchool]

thank you both for your insights and feedback here. sure it will be really helpful for other players!

[@Funkytrip73]

Best tip for tennis players: If you start playing padel while being a well skilled tennis player, resist the urge to go to the net if you want to get better at padel quickly. You Suck at the glass and from shot selection from behind the service line, so you need to practice that as much as possible. At the net, you will quickly find out your volley and reflexes may very well be superior to that of intermediate level padel players who play for years (although their technique is better ofc), so you will be adequate there already and not improve so fast.

[@ThePadelSchool]

thanks for sharing!

[@unravelpadel]

Great video as always. Started to train my glass play today with my trainer actually! Perhaps you could do a video on returns and glass. Examples of taking it before or after the bounce etc. I find that really hard as a beginner.

[@ThePadelSchool]

[@unravelpadel]

@@ThePadelSchool Perfect! In some occasions I get a ball with a lot of spin and it doesn't bounce back as much and the contact point is more to the ground towards the glass, if you get what I'm saying. Those balls are very tricky as it feels like I can't give the ball any space to bounce off to swing freely, feels like I have to really scratch that glass to return it.

[@ThePadelSchool]

yes, get you. they can be tricky balls! keep going with it 💪

Ned to know hand position

Sorry, we need to translate it into Arabic

[@orwell9579]

Why shouldn't a leftie play on the left side of the court? Right handed players play on the right all the time so they don't have their forehand in the middle either.

[@ThePadelSchool]

unless the leftie is playing with another leftie, if they play on the left hand side it will mean that both players have their backhand down the middle and therefore really reduces the opportunity to attack in a point.
