Hitting strategic volleys towards the side cage.

🏆 Your #1 Takeaway

How can I use the side cage effectively in padel?

Targeting the side cage with a well-placed volley can create unpredictable bounces, forcing opponents out of position or leading to errors.

What Your Guru Thinks

This lesson is very interesting because the coach Ewan highlights a shot that isn't always considered but can be incredibly effective. He shows you how hitting a volley directly at the side cage can really put pressure on your opponents due to the unpredictable bounce. Pay attention to his tips on hitting through the ball and choosing the right moment from the right court position. It's a clever tactic to add to your arsenal.
