At padel, the power impresses, but the placement wins the exchanges. Understanding the space, playing with your partner and agreeing to construct the point allows you to progress more quickly.
Always return to your position
After each strike, get back together with your partner. At the baseline, form a line and avoid leaving a large space in the center. At the net, move forward together. This coordinated movement reduces free zones and forces your opponents to attempt more difficult shots.
Play crossover
You gain length, more margin and more time to reposition yourself.
Communicate
Announce lobs, center balls and opposing movements to your partner.
Use the window
Let some balls pass: the bounce can give you a more comfortable shot.
Build the point with patience
The right decision is not always the most spectacular. Look for a deep or low ball first, then take advantage of a short response to take the net. The lob is essential: well executed, it repels the opposing team and allows you to recover an offensive position.
In padel, two players who move together are better than two excellent isolated players.
The Mouratoglou Racquet Sports teamTrain one intention at a time
Dedicate each game to a specific objective: position yourself better, play more in the middle or achieve three quality lobs per game. This targeted attention transforms a friendly game into a real progress session, without taking away the pleasure.
