Mastering attacking slice technique for better ball control.

🏆 #1 Takeaway - How can I improve my attacking slice in Padel?
To improve your attacking slice, focus on bringing the racket from above the ball downwards, maintain a slightly open racket face to brush the back of the ball, and extend your follow-through with intention for a more horizontal and deeper trajectory.

What Your Guru Thinks

Sandy provides excellent insights into developing a more effective attacking slice. The coach breaks down the key elements like racket path, face angle, and follow-through, making it easy to understand how to impart that crucial spin. Understanding these fundamental techniques will help you control the ball's trajectory and make your shots much more difficult for opponents to handle. It's a great foundation for using slice as a real weapon in your game.

If you’re new to The Padel School, welcome. We’re Sandy and Tom Farquharson - two brothers and the founders of this platform.

Our mission? To give every padel player the best coaching advice possible so you can unlock your full potential on the court.

Here’s why we care so much about this…

We grew up in tennis, competing from juniors all the way to the pro level. And honestly? It was frustrating. No matter how hard we worked, it was nearly impossible to get the high-quality coaching we needed to reach our full potential.

When we discovered padel over a decade ago, we fell in love with the sport instantly. But guess what? The coaching situation was even worse. Getting solid advice in English? Forget it.

That’s when we decided enough was enough.

As we played on the pro padel circuit and started coaching players across the globe, we realised no player should have to struggle to find clear, actionable guidance – in any sport.

Every player deserves access to the knowledge they need to grow, improve, and play the game at their highest level.

So we built The Padel School. It’s where we share everything we’ve learned on and off the court. Whether you’re a total beginner or chasing a competitive edge, we’re here to make sure you get the coaching we wish we’d had.

To all the padel warriors out there: the road to improvement isn’t easy, but that’s what makes it rewarding.

Keep grinding, keep learning, and remember – every point is a new opportunity to get better.
