Mastering defensive play using side and back glass.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How should I position myself and move when playing balls off the side and back glass?
When playing balls off the side glass, pivot and move back to create time and space. When playing balls off the back glass, move back initially and then adjust your movement forward or backward based on the ball's pace and separation, always maintaining enough distance from the glass to swing freely.

What Your Guru Thinks

This lesson offers fantastic insights into handling balls off the walls. The coach explains clearly how to use the glass to gain time and position yourself correctly. Paying attention to the footwork and the common mistakes described will significantly improve your confidence and effectiveness when playing from the back of the court. Understanding how to adapt your movement to different types of bounces is crucial for solid defensive play.
