Coaching tactical play and overhead shots against lobs.

🏆 Your #1 Takeaway

What tactical decisions should I make when opponents lob?

Assess the quality of the lob to decide whether to play an aggressive overhead like a smash, vibora, or bajada, or a defensive overhead like a bandeja. Communicate with your partner about opponent positioning and anticipate their moves based on their actions. Use variations in pace and spin on your overheads to keep opponents guessing.

What Your Guru Thinks

This session with coach Mauri is very useful if you want to deepen your understanding of padel tactics. It explores how limiting options, like allowing only one lob per point, can force strategic thinking and better shot selection. The coach also offers practical tips on executing overhead shots like the bandeja and vibora, emphasizing preparation and variation. Paying attention to the coach's advice on communication and anticipation can significantly improve your court awareness and decision-making.
