Improving Bandeja technique and overhead strategy.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How can I improve my Bandeja shot in Padel?
Refine your Bandeja by optimizing ball contact height, transferring weight forward through the shot, focusing on deep placement, and strategically incorporating slice to control bounce and court positioning.

What Your Guru Thinks

This lesson offers a fantastic glimpse into a real Padel coaching session. The coach provides valuable insights into refining your overhead shots, particularly the Bandeja. You'll observe common technical mistakes, such as incorrect ball contact height and poor weight transfer, and learn practical adjustments. It highlights the importance of pushing forward into the shot and strategically varying both pace and spin. This is incredibly useful for enhancing your overhead game and tactical court awareness.

Inside a Real Padel Lesson - Advanced Bandeja Corrections

Description

Many of you have been asking me to post videos where I analyze amateur padel players in real time. Well, you got lucky! 🎥

Today we bring you a real live coaching session with one of my advanced groups. We’ll focus on overheads this time: technique adjustments on bandeja–víbora, basic positioning, timing, and how to use all this in real tactical situations. 💥
Each of my four students receives individual feedback — and then we apply it directly in point play. 🎾

There isn’t much of this kind of content on YouTube, and I think many players will find it useful — seeing what actually happens in a real padel lesson with advanced players.

If you enjoy this video and want more behind-the-scenes sessions like this, let me know in the comments and I’ll keep recording them.
And don’t forget to like and subscribe to support the channel! 😄
