Padel defense pyramid for effective counterattacks.

PadelJo
🏆 #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.

PADEL TACTICS - The Easiest Method to Defend and Counterattack

Description

🎾 Do you have a plan when you're defending in padel — or are you just hitting random shots and hoping something works?

In this episode of the *Padel Tactics Series, we introduce the **Padel Defence Pyramid* — a simple but powerful way to understand the levels of defence and how to build your counter attack.

👊 What you'll learn:
- Why “just surviving” isn’t enough
- The 3 levels of defense: survive, attack low, and take the net
- What types of balls to expect in each level
- When to lob, when to chiquita, and when to stay
- How to keep your opponents guessing at all times
- The #1 mistake players make from the back
- Why your partner MUST follow the same plan as you
