I'd say this is one of your most valuable lessons! Ive just got into pedal 1 month ago, your channel helps so much with learning the game properly! Thank you very much and keep it up! Greetings from germany!
these advices are so true! recently I changed hitting vibora every time to hitting bandeja every time and the control that you have of the court with the bandeja is amazingly better than the vibora, specially when you don't win the point with that first vibora.
Thanks for the video and advice! Totally agree about the "not hitting winning points". I am totally new to padel but I've played tennis and table tennis before so coming from that I always tried to win the point myself and always tried to hit a "good" ball. But after trying "to never win a point" my game became much better and more safe. Doing way less mistakes and especially easy mistakes. I also think as long as I get the ball over the net the point is still there to win. I get it's more fun to smash and win the point yourself but I really appreciate to win a point knowing I didn't do any mistakes and somewhat forced the other players to do it instead.
Great suggestion Sandy, thanks. Playing too aggressive is definitely a very common mistake I see all the time. Especially with people coming from tennis.
I took a lesson a few weeks ago. Before i tried to murder the ball which gave me some winners but also alot of unforced errors and mishits. After i have tried to focus more on controll and clean hits and the fun thing is that i hit alot more winners now but with less effort. Great tips in this video.
Padel are really starting to get established here in Sweden with many competitions the last year were top players from Spain, Argentina etc has been participating. Maybe it’s too late to jump on the ball here but I hope to see you in Sweden soon.
I have done the challenge last weekend. The result was great. My team was not that quit good and opponent team was better than us. We won because opponent team mistakes and not focusing on winning shoot
Entering a few tournaments with very little experience and generally my strategy is to just return the ball! The adrenaline bit was great as I exhuasted my legs in the first few games
Great advice, just started playing really enjoy it. I like to take my time but also love a good smash. Most people l play over hit top spin and trying to win from serve but miss
I realised last year that "by reducing my errors", I am winning more games. However, recently I am playing against better players and my game is now "too passive". Even when they give me an easy ball mid court, I am not going for the vibora or smash. I seem to have lost my confidence in hitting that "winning shot"! On the other hand, I had become rather good at lobbing and playing safety shots.
I am pretty much experiencing the same thing. When I started playing, one of the most important tips was to minimise errors and win points by letting the opponents make the mistakes. However, I started playing with more experienced players and then this tip doesn't apply as much anymore.
Great channel Sandy! What would you recommend to low the gravity center when hitting? Any video or exercise? I'm an upper-intermediate from Argentina and not being able to stay low when hitting the ball is killing my shots (mainly control balls)
@@ThePadelSchool well, it didn't go that well at all. My focus before the match was to make zero mistakes, which resulted in passive footwork, stiff arm and too conservative positioning on the court. The next day I was bavk on the court and my focus was to always be in the correct position, and I played much better and made considerably fewer mistakes. But it was nice to learn what kind of a mindset works best for me 😎
I don’t consider myself super-aggressive, I like to win the point with controlled pressure. I tried this in a comfortable practice match, I think I made 4 errors in three sets. I think the adrenaline point is the most relevant to me. I found it pretty relaxing just taking my time. We won 2-1. It was hard to back off from kill shots tbh.
Hi Sandy, how do I defend a player [ex tennis] smashing the ball fast and hard and low, at me/towards me. I nearly always over hit the ball back even though I am trying to take the sting out of the shot ? Thanks
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 if you ever have more questions in the future! thepadelschool.com/
Only heard people in the states pronounce it like that...is that where you're playing? (I believe this was to distinguish between their other sport padel tennis...)
@@ThePadelSchool I’m from Belgium. Wherever I’ve played (Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands) I’ve heard it pronounced with the emphasis on the ‘e’. It’s a Spanish word so that kinda makes sense to me.
The game originated in the Spanish-speaking world and the pronunciation in Spanish is with the stress on the “a”. It even has a written accent (“tilde”) on it in Spanish - “pádel”. You certainly won’t hear anyone on the World Padel Tour pronouncing it “paDEL”!
@@JennyThomas-si6pu and you won’t hear any Spanish native pronounce it paddel either. Emphasis is indeed on the a, but in Spanish ‘del’ is automatically pronounced with a sharp ‘e’. That was my point ;-) Compared to the ‘paddel’ pronounciation in the UK and US.

Greetings from germany!
This is great advice for everyone… Make No mistakes !! Win the point Only from your opponents mistakes… 😊
glad you enjoyed!

Control...and also less mistakes!! Good decision!

It is a great way to establish your strategy!
I dare say this is your the best instructional/tactical video that puts it all together. Whoever you are, try this and trust me, you won't regret it.
Thank you! This is a key part of the game - so I hope people give it a go!

Very true!
I come from tennis and pretty much all my instincts are wrong lol.
Don't like 80% come from tennis haha

I've got the same results when I tried!
Really glad to hear that! So many players can improve by taking the same action :)
This was exactly what I needed to see today. Thanks Sandy!
Very happy to help!!
Sandy your advices are great. They worked. Vamos. Good Luck in UK.
Vamos Joacim! Thanks for your support as always!
Brilliant video Sandy, once more! Thanks a million! 💪💪💪
You're so welcome! Glad you liked it!
Perhaps the best tactical video you have ever presented - Lars/SPORT24
Appreciate it Lars and love seeing the grow of padel in Denmark (what a team you guys are developing now)!!
Thanks, Allot. it was a bit hard to leave smash ball but I did it and we won the match.
It is difficult to resist the urge to smash hard - but if you can it is worth it!
Great Video! Thank you.
Thanks for your suggestions, Sandy. I'll try to put them in place in my next game, starting from this evening!
Please do and let us know how it goes!!
You will be missed sandy 🇦🇪 good luck in your next step
Thank you! Will be back to visit Dubai for sure :)
@@ThePadelSchool Are you quitting The Padel School or what's happening? :)

Maybe it’s too late to jump on the ball here but I hope to see you in Sweden soon.
I tried this game for the 1st time in S.A. 2 days ago. I'm a badminton player, and this game comes easy for us. Put the volley away easily.
Loved the Adrenaline Graphic. awesome content, thank u
Glad you enjoyed it!

Well explained, thanks alot😊
You're welcome!
Great Video, Sandy!!!! Very usefull tips!!!! Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Great advice, just started playing really enjoy it. I like to take my time but also love a good smash. Most people l play over hit top spin and trying to win from serve but miss
Majority of players try to overhit - especially at the beginning!
Great advice!thank you very much!!
Very welcome!
Great suggestion! Thanks! Both my game and match was much much better and more fun. Plus we won the match :)

Wonder if it is a mobility thing or a conscious thing? Mobility and it needs physical work - conscious and it needs focused repetition on court...
I'm playing on the forehand side in my next summer league match, I will imolement this rock solid aproach. I'll report back 😎
Perfect time to practice it! Let me know how it goes!

in general best to allow the ball to rebound off the glass as it will slow it down and give you time to move forward to the correct position

Great advice and video, thanks! I have a goal to not play controlled but it's very easy to forget that and end up hitting too hard...
Very easy to get sucked into a fast game!
This man says yeh about every 30 seconds. Someone needs to tell him!
Sorry for that! Hope the other 4 minutes and 52 seconds helped you in any way.
yeh true
Step 1: Smash every ball
Step 2: Hit the wall every time
Yea?

No disrespect intended but you use a paddel on a lake.Padèl has the emphasis on the e, not on the a.

Hope this video helps: th-cam.com/video/yHAJ5XjFUNg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dU7FrH6eGNrXVidz,
I understand where you are coming from but imagine in EVERY video you would hear the explanation, you'd get bored so i find you comment ignorant
Learn how hat it is then before watching a padel lesson silly
