Improve Padel control and choices through compactness and footwork.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How can I improve my control and gain more time on the ball in Padel?
By focusing on being compact in your preparation and movements, using your footwork to get into position rather than just your hands, which gives you better control, more time, and allows for more shot choices.

What Your Guru Thinks

This lesson is really useful for understanding a core principle of good padel: being compact. The coach explains how keeping your movements and preparation tight gives you more time and control, especially in tricky situations. It also shows how relying on your footwork is often more effective than just using your hands to solve problems on court. Applying this can make a big difference in your consistency and ability to make smart decisions.
