Nine tips to surprise opponents with tactical variations.

🏆 Your #1 Takeaway

How can I use deception to surprise my padel opponents?

Surprise opponents by breaking predictable patterns using fake shots (lob, smash, run), strategic court positioning (poaching, leaving corners open), using the glass wall, and varying shot selection like low volleys at the net or variations on overheads like the Bajada.

What Your Guru Thinks

This provides some really clever ideas to add variation to your game. Sven, the coach, highlights how players can become predictable, and offers practical ways to break those patterns. Using fake shots and strategic positioning can really throw opponents off balance. It's definitely worth exploring if you feel stuck in a rut on court.
