All NEW PADEL PLAYERS: Master the Game with These BEGINNER Padel Tips! | ThePadelSchool.com

When I'm on the left and its a ball dying in the centre, when I see my new team mate charging towards the ball to hit it off the glass (even though its my shot, an easy one just hitting straight towards the net) ....let it go, save your racket lol. Ask me how I know?

Excellent tips

Just hearing of game, basically tennis/racquetball combo,,the ball doesn't have much pressure but are they felted like tennis? What is surface,rubberized /springy similar to what we called versa turf at indoor tennis clubs or coated concrete? Looked like a fairly fast surface

knowing when to hit rebound to the glass vs when to hit the ball straight to other side when it hits the glass. it was very confusing to me

Wish I knew that u arent supposed to be aggressive at all and rather just tap the ball back to keep the rallies going (very strange to me to not try win a point but rather hope yr opponent makes a mistake!?)!? Also that its so difficult to get to play better players so u can improve...due to the snootiness of the game and its players less experienced players are excluded.

You are best

Thank you 👍 bro

Ned to know hand position

What is the meaning of staying compact ?

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.

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

Love these videos Sandy, helps loads for me having all the tennis habits

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!

You forgot tip#6.. Always blame your racket and your teammate.
Just kidding ofcourse.
But I do think tip 6 could have been to keep a cool head and be like a goldfish when it comes to bad shots. Your tip of looking at your racket is really great ;)

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!

Sorry, we need to translate it into Arabic

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!!

Very good video thanks for the tips!

Thank you 🎉

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.

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.

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.

wish i knew how pricy everything was 😔

Best tip glass is your friend as a squash player took to it early . Play both sides now but in a com.i play leftvas my backhand from squash helps me return down the centre

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:)

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 :)
