Defensive strategies when stretched on the Padel court.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How to defend effectively when caught out of position?
When stretched, avoid risky shots; instead, play a soft ball down to the opponent's feet (like a Chiquita) or a high lob to neutralize the point and recover court position.

What Your Guru Thinks

Coach Sandy shares some very practical tips on defending when you are caught out of position and at full stretch. He highlights common mistakes many players make and explains why they happen, which is super useful for understanding your own game. Focusing on softer hands and clever placement like a chiquita or a well-judged lob buys you crucial time to recover. This lesson gives you concrete ideas on how to turn a difficult defensive situation into one where you can neutralize the point and get back in position.
