Tips to beat players with more padel experience or a strong rackets background (like tennis):

  • Slow the game down: use the lob and softer balls (like a chiquita) when they are at the net.
  • Do not block smashes: come forward, involve the glass, attack when they are at the back.
  • Be as patient as you can: play with more angles.
  • Play with pressure from the back: use fast and aggressive volleys (against players with more padel experience).
  • Make a game plan: discuss before the game with your partner your strategy and game.
