Learn to categorize defensive balls (red, yellow, green) for smarter Padel defense.
🏆
Your #1 Takeaway
How should I adapt my defensive strategy in Padel based on the pressure I'm under?
Categorize incoming balls as red (high pressure, just return), yellow (medium pressure, create opportunities), or green (low pressure, lob to attack). This helps you choose the right shot under different defensive scenarios and transition effectively.
What Your Guru Thinks
This lesson from Dani is very insightful for anyone wanting to improve their defensive game. He introduces a clever way to think about defense by categorizing balls into red, yellow, and green based on pressure. Understanding these categories can really help you make better decisions on court and improve your ability to transition from defense to attack.

🔴 Red Balls – When you're under pressure and have no time, just keep the ball in play
🟡 Yellow Balls – When you have more control, start building the point and create opportunities
