Improve defense by practicing soft shots in a smaller court.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How can I improve my soft defensive play in Padel?
By practicing in a smaller court to force softer shots and improve control. Focus on compact swings and drills that emphasize consistency in defensive rallies, like playing balls off the wall.

What Your Guru Thinks

This is a really insightful lesson for anyone struggling to play controlled defense. The coach cleverly uses a bench to simulate a smaller court, forcing you to play softer and more strategically. It's a great way to reduce the urge to rush defensive shots and develop better ball control. The drills and mini-match idea are practical ways to implement these techniques and make your defense more solid.
