Comparing Padel singles tactics to doubles strategy.

🏆 Your #1 Takeaway

How does strategy change when playing Padel singles compared to doubles?

In Padel singles, strategies shift towards using lobs and hitting straight shots down the line more effectively than crosscourt angles due to the narrower court, and playing from the back is often safer than aggressively pushing the net.

What Your Guru Thinks

This exploration by Ewan and Jake offers a unique perspective on playing padel singles. It's quite insightful to see how the court dimensions dramatically change the optimal strategy compared to the standard doubles game. Understanding why lobs and straight shots become more effective and why pushing the net is riskier gives you a good idea of the tactical adjustments needed if you ever step onto a singles court. It shows that even experienced players have to rethink their game in this format.
