Padel defense pyramid for effective counterattacks.

๐Ÿ† Your #1 Takeaway

How can I improve my defensive strategy in Padel?

Implement the Padel defense pyramid, understanding that you are defending when the ball is below net level and attacking when it's above. Strategically use lobs (70%) and chiquitas (30%) to counterattack and gain the net position.

What Your Guru Thinks

This lesson provides a brilliant framework for understanding defensive play. The coach introduces a Padel defense pyramid, helping you identify the right shot based on the ball's difficulty. It highlights the crucial link between solid technique and tactical possibilities. You'll learn when to defend, when to attack, and how to execute effective counterattacks. This is particularly useful for improving your strategic play from the back of the court.
