Mastering the Padel return shot.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How can I improve my Padel return shot?
Focus on neutralizing the opponent's first volley, choose between low or lob returns based on serve quality, aim strategically at the server or down the line, master returns off the glass and to the T, and avoid common errors like rushing or lobbing good serves.

What Your Guru Thinks

This lesson is incredibly useful for understanding the vital role of the return in Padel. The coach breaks down common mistakes and offers practical advice on aiming and shot selection. You'll learn how to neutralize your opponent's attack and when to go low or lob. It also provides excellent technical tips for handling balls off the glass and serves to the body. Mastering these points will significantly improve your ability to break serve.

Stop Losing Points on Your Return – Padel Return Masterclass

Description

How many points do you lose just because of your return?
If you’re honest, it’s probably more than you think.

In padel, the return is the very first ball you hit when you’re defending.
If you keep missing it, you’re basically gifting points to your opponents — and it’s almost impossible to break serve.

In this video, I’ll walk you through:
- Why the return matters way more than most people think
- The real goal of a good return (it’s NOT hitting winners)
- The best zones to place your return
- Different types of return and when to use them
- The most common mistakes you’re probably making

Whether you’re a beginner who just wants to get the ball in, or an advanced player looking to put pressure on your opponent from the first shot, these tips will make a big difference in your matches.
