Master court zones, counter chiquita, and differentiate bandeja from vibora.
🏆
Your #1 Takeaway
How should I adapt my shot selection based on my position on the padel court, especially when facing lobs and chiquitas?
Understand the three court zones and use appropriate shots in each zone: Smash/Attack in Zone 1 (close to net), Vibora in Zone 2 (mid-court attack), Bandeja/Gancho in Zone 3 (defensive recovery). For chiquitas, focus on controlled placement rather than power.
