Essential back court positioning and defensive posture in Padel.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How should I position myself at the back of the padel court for defense?
Position yourself between the service line and the back wall, approximately 1.5 meters from the sidewall, maintaining a wide stance, bent knees, and a forward-leaning posture for optimal reaction time and movement.

What Your Guru Thinks

This is a fundamental lesson if you are just starting to learn padel. Mauri clearly explains the correct positioning at the back of the court and the importance of posture for effective defense. Understanding these basics will really help you improve your ability to react to shots and cover the back of the court more efficiently. Pay attention to the advice on stance and body angle, as these are crucial for quick movements and shot preparation.
