Use fast shots when opponents are out of position, close to the glass, or poaching at the net, aiming for their body or backhand side. Use slow shots when you are defending, have time to create angles, or after playing a bandeja to force net players to move more and open up the court. Varying speed and direction keeps opponents off balance and creates opportunities.
This is really insightful if you want to understand shot speed variation in padel. Sven and Laurence explain clearly when to use soft or fast shots depending on your opponent's position, especially at the net. It's great to learn how adjusting your shot speed can be a key tactic in defense and offense, and how to make those crucial decisions during a rally. This will definitely help you become a more strategic player.
