[@bagpussmacfarlan9008]

I'm watching pretty much every coach on YT and my conclusion is you're the best to watch - funny as well as useful. I have my list now, this time net year...Lebron kick smashes all the way👍

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Thanks amigo!

[@baubau4935]

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Thanks man!

[@paul_sanchez]

dejada/chiquita is also more important than smashes imo at intermediate level for taking advantage of the #1 on your list, great video

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Yes it is!

[@addkite]

what is a dejada per favor ?

[@AllanB-h3q]

Best content yet ... and yes please, a video about "serve like a pro" 🙂

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Haha yes! We can walk to this club! Which makes it easy for us

[@darylawilliams]

Fantastic video, again, so helpful. I have been going through a lot of your videos to help me improve my game and each time I take the advice onto the court and try to focus on improving each time I step onto the court. You are always fun but the advice is vital to player like me trying to reach the next level. Thank you.

[@captainspeedgolf6787]

Number 1 is position yes yes yes!!!! Thank you so much

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Yess! Thats the key! Thank you too!

[@sebulbathx]

Position trumps most. I have seen many slow or not technical players but they are always in the right position. And being in right position conserves so much energy like many run or move way more than necessary due to bad position.

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Yes!

[@robertvries1]

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Yes! Well everybody maybe😃

[@darreanm]

Amazing tips. Thank you.

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Thanks!

[@edwardstrover1177]

Great video. I think #1 is early racket preparation and use of the non hitting hand to help with preparation. Most intermediate players I see are late to prepare. After that, I like your top 10.

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Thank you! Yes totally agree

[@Jaksi-a]

Nice tips. I'm just starting out, about a month in. I'm currently trying to work on my positioning when returning from corners and/or the glass. Also, getting my serves consistent and good. I'm left handed and serving left to right seems to be more difficult for me. I really want to improve both serve game and keeping balls in play. Also, I need to start communicating. I feel like I'm making many of the same small mistakes almost every time I play.

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Very nice! Good luck on your journey

[@coachangelap.wilson824]

Sven, excellent tips,not just keen players but many coaches should pay attention to these tips too 👂👂👀👏 I caoch the same way like you, and have to say the progress on my clients is very effective.

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Great to hear that! Thank you! I totally agree

[@TheMadkozzie]

A M A Z I N G video for me as a semi beginner player, thank you so much for all the great tips and tricks!! I was wondering, I watch your *1minute padel reviews” also but is it possible to do this in a longer format? I don’t have the possibility to test rackets, so some good buying videos would be much appreciated! Greetings from a 42y old belgian wannabe padel player 😅

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Yes maybe! I will think about it

[@jolandavandenakker2423]

Hallo Sven. We hebben elkaar al wel een paar keer ontmoet op de baan tijdens po sessies van de KNLTB. Ik gebruik in mijn lessen met beginners vaak jouw tip dat je het racket zó vroeg moet voorbereiden, dat je vóór je bal gaat spelen éérst nog een paar slokjes van je koffie kan drinken😃! Die vinden mensen grappig en werkt ook goed👍🏻!

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Hi Jolanda! Haha! Heel leuk 🤩 op een leuke manier leren is het allerbelangrijkste!

[@het6296]

[@marzettacrostunt]

@@OtroNivelPadel well I’ll try to arrange a visit to the Netherlands. I live in Enköping, Sweden, if you are traveling through 🎾🤙🏼

[@emanuelebignone7044]

great tips thanks

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Thank you!

[@Dreamerm6]

Just to understand something, at 7:45 you explain returning from bounce onto glass. So this is just for exercise right? Because ball is not allowed to bounce twice?

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Yes exactly!

[@jimborat]

after coming back to padel from a break , like 90% of my mistakes were caused by bad positioning. shot techniques came back really quickly but I found myself in really bad positions constantly

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Yes that is something you will have to be very aware of!

[@marcoh1563]

Thanks for this amazing tips and would also be great to see a video explaining how to serve like a pro

[@nielsjuhl6980]

Nice video Sven! Good tips - How is the Diablo racket treating you? Are you liking it? I watched your 1 minute review, where you gave it a good score - Still feeling good about it? How does it compare to the trilogy?

[@OtroNivelPadel]

I really like it. It feels like my smash is on fire with the diablo. Its just what I feel like a good racket should do. Its more attacking than I normally have and it seems easy enough to use it

[@jornykuijpers4158]

17:38 🕊️💀

[@krheide1]

Can you explain why you advice Sasha to hit earlier after the glass? I think I'm making the same mistake. I thought it would be better to wait for the ball to come to you because you have more time. It must be harder to make the hit correctly just after the ball has rebounded? And I'm a leftie playing on the right so I'm trying to do this on my backhand.

[@OtroNivelPadel]

It is only harder because you think its harder 😃 Because you have to move less and the longer you wait the more the ball comes into your body. So it your opponent plays fast to the sidewall, you have to take it straight after. Otherwise you are still moving back when the ball is coming to you

[@krheide1]

@@OtroNivelPadel that makes sense, although my return position usually is just one step in front of the back wall, so I thought I would get there even before a fast serve comes. Anyway - hitting the ball immediately after the glass takes a lot of practice I guess. Thanks a lot👍

[@tomassilveiraportas]

Great video! Is there any video only for serves?

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Yes we have them!

[@richardvanvliet2287]

Yep. I wanna know how to serve like a pro :)

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Venga!

[@terrykingham7305]

Hi Otro, great videos and advice, what are the correct rules regarding maximum height of serves, as I am told different rules, please advise. Regards Terry.

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Waist hight! Thanks

[@yourSHARIEF]

Coach. Thank you so much for the tips. And yes, how to serve like a pro video please. Also.. whats your opinion on the differnces between the siux trilogy pro 4 and the diablo revolution pro 3... would love to know as i notice you play with both.

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Yea they are both great. I am just able to give slightly more power with the diablo. But the sweetspot is a bit smaller with the diablo!

[@TheMadkozzie]

Sven, one more question (sorry😅) are there any exercises we can do in the backyard at home, i really love the game and want to improve but don’t have the budget to practice with a trainer (kids are costly 😅). I also saw the “Exit padel rebounder” is this something you would suggest for home use?

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Well you can, but I don’t believe its going to help your game massively. Its better to do footwork exercises and hand eye coordination drills

[@DeusmaximusOne]

good video

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Thank you!

[@3birbsInATrenchcoat]

Hard agree with #1 and #2! But an important point for #2 is HOW you decide where to play. Because some days you can't get anything right and the best decision is to play easy and "just put the ball in".

[@OtroNivelPadel]

I think its always better to think about where to play. Playing just crosscourt before the line is better than playing in

[@joshuahonkoop2146]

Awesome videos thanks! Keep on the good work. I play since january around 2 or 3 times a week, maybe i will change my racket next season. Which one you recommend for around €100,- a €150. I'm a right handed player, defensive and has not a lot of power in my hand, more control. Hope you can advice me for a nice racket to level up my game:) now i have a dunlop graphit frame rocket ultra..

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Thank you Joshua! The dunlop aero star on justpadel.com! The normal one! Its around €100 now

[@marcbrillet6259]

Positionning is the key, period.

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Yes it is

hi Otro! thank you for video, can you breakdown technique of good serve, make a video please🙏🏽

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Will do!

[@yamz342]

@@OtroNivelPadel a question I have about serving that might be good to include - do I need to bring the racket all the way up high above my head like the pros do?

[@OtroNivelPadel]

It depends if you want to serve with slice or flat. But your preparation should be higher than the ball

[@johanvanwambeke723]

Positioning is important for your game, but also for the partner. Having it on nr1 will not only help you. But it 2x the amount of players. Immaging the mathematics your partner has to do if you have unpredictable positioning. He/she has to try and compensate for your position, making their game worse as well.

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Yes exactly!

I did not follow the lob tips from 13:41 and got trashed today. Always trying to lob from difficult positions and my oponents were almost sitting on the net and having fun with easy smashes ...

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Yes exactly! Lob when its easy, don’t lob when its hard

[@ajalvarez1387]

Why is class very important? What if a player got so tired and went through the glass then what?

I don’t understand what you are saying

[@brkus2665]

All I got from this video is that if I'm defending a corner, I need 2 racquets.

[@OtroNivelPadel]

🤣🤣

[@fabioghezzi1969]

the rule that relates service height to the player height is the true garbage*. IT should be net height equal for all. The reference is easy: you just need to paint a line on the glass.

[@OtroNivelPadel]

That might be a better option

[@elienasr91]

So basically, practice the kick smash

[@OtroNivelPadel]

Yes 🤣🤣

You are not allowed to serve the ball at belly button height. Waist or lower.
