TRAINING PADEL VOLLEYS - Vlog Lesson

In this video we are with Toby, one of The Padel School coaches, and we are working on getting his volleys more padel specific...and making them more effective!
Enjoy this 'training lesson' style content? What shots would you like to see us working on?
Here we change a few ball characteristics to help adapt Toby's tennis volley to an effective padel one! You can clearly see the difficulty this creates for the player defending!
Players only need a little slice with the volleys, but before making major technical changes, are you aiming for the right targets on the court?

Brilliant content Sandy. I really enjoy this new format, and the length of the video was just perfect. Thanks!! 😄

[@ThePadelSchool]

Thank you Miguel! Working on some more of these 👍

[@fabriziolodeserto5025]

Very nice video Sandy and it helped me a lot. And the skills of your partner were so good that the workout was excellent.

[@SoniCatedx2]

This was a brilliant video. I struggle with the same thing. Looking forward to the next session about anticipate your opponents next shoot. Love the longer video format. 👍

[@ThePadelSchool]

Thanks and glad you like them...working on that next one ;)

[@juhanilahtinen6477]

Excellent video and you could see the difference immediately. Will have to keep this in mind and try to emulate it in my own practice. Thanks for your great content Sandy!

[@ThePadelSchool]

Depth and spin on the volleys = instant difference 😀

[@stonebox1972]

The video in combination with you explaining what to focus on; a perfect combination!!!!

[@ThePadelSchool]

Noted...more of these!

[@wouternrs]

Great video! Very insightful! Play smarter, not harder. Still struggling with backhand volleys so extra tips and tricks here are definitely welcome. Absolutely enjoying the vlog style too

[@ThePadelSchool]

Glad you're enjoying and finding the tips helpful 👍

[@kotap9929]

So much learning with these videos. 🤩 Thanks a bunch! ✌🏻💪🏻

[@ThePadelSchool]

Glad you like them!

[@nachorux8155]

Amazing video. It really makes you realize the difference. It's so simple, yet so complicated to apply in to the game, but mostly because of not being able to see it. Love your videos

[@ThePadelSchool]

Glad it helped!

[@nollattacykel]

Excellent lesson Sandy! Thank you!

[@ThePadelSchool]

You are so welcome!

[@ntnnot]

Brilliant tip/reminder about the importance of pace and placement 👏🏻

[@ThePadelSchool]

Crucial for padel!!

[@zachmorman4850]

You are a savior for us English speaking Padel players that don't have local coaching. Praise you. Lord of Padel.

[@ThePadelSchool]

Haha, very happy to be your online coach ;)

[@ricardompg85]

First comment!! Love your channel your explanations are more concise and to the point than most Spanish channels and this comes from a Spaniard. Keep up the good work!!

[@ThePadelSchool]

Always happy to hear the Spanish enjoying the content - I know you have plenty to choose from :)

[@davidpinto4192]

Amazing video. Thanks!

[@ThePadelSchool]

Our pleasure!

[@66gattaca]

Great stuff, Sandy, thanks. It’s these small adjustments that make so much difference, just shortening the volley here and taking off some power for example. This video also demonstrates why, for me, padel is so addictive - unlike tennis, the walls make it almost like a game of chess, teasing and probing for opportunities, being patient and not just blasting ball at every opportunity! We have a tourneo coming up this weekend, looking forward to (trying to) put this volley-work into practice!

[@ThePadelSchool]

How's your tournament going this weekend? Putting the volley into practice?

[@ardblok2014]

Sandy, more of this please! Very good content!

[@ThePadelSchool]

Working on it ;)

[@ryss1]

This was so good! Best so far. Good work.

Thank you very much!

[@Mollelarsson]

Love these more interactive videos where you have others actually doing the drills, even though that guy made it look easier than it probably is as well!

Another excellent video, just what I needed to hear (and see) before tonights match. VAMOS!

How did the match go?

[@peterjohansson1524]

@@ThePadelSchool We won! Thanks for asking 🙂. And we also won the match the day after. These important volley instructions and patience, patience and more Patience really made the whole difference. And I also started to count my own winners vs. unforced errors, gives perceptive. I've watched your channel for 2 years now and It has made me a padelplayer, not just a guy swinging at a boll on a padel Court, many thanks and please keep this up 🎾❤️💪

[@Buurmanni]

Very nice concept and such an important topic once again, vamos!

[@ThePadelSchool]

Thanks Niklas!

[@Strike1SA]

Hi Sandy. Thanks a lot for the great video! I liked that you applied the learnings in an actual match. That made it much more practical. The only thing that I am wondering about is that I felt you overused the glass which made this a bit harder for you in some of the balls, I thought it would have been much easier to take it before the glass. When I apply these kind of soft short volleys to my opponents, they tend to easily take it before the glass which defeats what intended to do. What do you think?

[@83brammm]

Great love this style with some gameplay implementation 👍

[@ThePadelSchool]

Happy to hear it!

[@probablyanotherfun]

as a new coach in greece and as a viwer...please more of those....excellent video content! love from greece!

[@brianmccluskey4281]

Great training video. Would love to see when you should hit the vibora in a similar situation.

[@ThePadelSchool]

The vibora? You mean from a lob? Can find a student to record one of those videos!

[@nicoletabrezoi6036]

Loved this video, how it was set, the explanation, the practice and the analysis. You're doing a really great job with these videos Sandy! I'm following from Italy and learning a lot from them, even if I also do private lessons, so I got to play now fairly well for an amateur😊 (coming from tennis). This is such a nice sport, and on our island we can practice it outdoor all year round😉. Keep up with this lovely job Sandy! Greetings from Sicily🤗

[@ThePadelSchool]

I haven't been to Sicily for padel, but sounds amazing! Really happy to be helping :)

[@nicoletabrezoi6036]

@@ThePadelSchool yes, these are some really nice clubs in Sicily! I hope you will have the chance to visit it soon, spring is the best time for padel😉

[@andreasaccuman8198]

Nice format and video! I personally struggle with smashes and serves. If anything like that comes up in the future, it'd be lovely.

That can be arranged!

I had a question around elbow technique. I am getting taught in Spain and in my 1-1 classes I havent really asked for Volley improvement so much because its one of my stronger strokes. However now my coach has seen my volleys he's basically asked me to recontrsuct my volley technique completely differently and prepare with arms straight (almost like a robot) and then on both forehand and backhand you take the arms back with straight arms to the prepare position and then push from up to down with a straight arm technique. In these volley videos and others I've seen everyone's arms are quite bent. It does seem like a good technique and you achieve much more slice with the arms straight but its quite difficult to change the technique.

[@ThePadelSchool]

Great question - we'd have to see your volley technique to help. On our online platform players can send us clips of their technique and we provide feedback to them. We are running a 7 day free trial here: pulse.ly/5vx5bhzl1p

That's padel, innit!

[@TNToncourt]

Coming from tennis I find it hard to do a backhand volley without changing the grip slightly.....Help!

[@ThePadelSchool]

Grip shouldn't change in tennis either...In our Learn the Basics course we teach how to keep continental grip :)

[@TNToncourt]

@@ThePadelSchool Thank you

[@Tech_Publica]

His racker face is way too open in the volleys :)
