Focus on the ball then the opponents during play.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - When should I look at the ball versus my opponents in padel?
Focus completely on the ball when it's approaching you to read its pace, length, and spin; once you have hit the ball and controlled it, divide your attention between observing where your shot is going and where your opponents are positioned to anticipate their next move.

What Your Guru Thinks

This discussion offers a valuable perspective on where your attention should be during a point. The coach explains the crucial difference between focusing on the ball as it approaches you and dividing your attention once you've hit it. Understanding when to watch the ball and when to observe your opponents is key to making smart decisions and improving your court awareness. It's a detail often overlooked but fundamental to progressing in padel.
