Slow down, use the glass, and approach the net strategically.
What Your Guru Thinks
This lesson with Sandy is incredibly useful if you've been struggling to win points when you rush the net. Sandy explains clearly why blocking the ball quickly often backfires against experienced Padel players. You'll learn the importance of using the glass, slowing the game's pace, and coordinating with your partner. This foundational advice will help you build points more effectively and take the net with greater success.
Description
To become better, you need to slow the ball down first! This video explains WHY timing your move to the net matters and HOW learning to play the slow game changes EVERYTHING!
If you’re new to The Padel School, welcome. We’re Sandy and Tom Farquharson - two brothers and the founders of this platform.
Our mission? To give every padel player the best coaching advice possible so you can unlock your full potential on the court.
Here’s why we care so much about this…
We grew up in tennis, competing from juniors all the way to the pro level. And honestly? It was frustrating. No matter how hard we worked, it was nearly impossible to get the high-quality coaching we needed to reach our full potential.
When we discovered padel over a decade ago, we fell in love with the sport instantly. But guess what? The coaching situation was even worse. Getting solid advice in English? Forget it.
That’s when we decided enough was enough.
As we played on the pro padel circuit and started coaching players across the globe, we realised no player should have to struggle to find clear, actionable guidance – in any sport.
Every player deserves access to the knowledge they need to grow, improve, and play the game at their highest level.
So we built The Padel School. It’s where we share everything we’ve learned on and off the court. Whether you’re a total beginner or chasing a competitive edge, we’re here to make sure you get the coaching we wish we’d had.
To all the padel warriors out there: the road to improvement isn’t easy, but that’s what makes it rewarding.
Keep grinding, keep learning, and remember – every point is a new opportunity to get better.
A great way to learn from the pros is to watch the Qatar Airways Premier Padel on the Red Bull TV app https://www.redbulltv.com - it is free and you get to watch the best players in the world!
