Solo court drills for warm-up and control

May 1, 2023

Key takeaway from our Guru

How can I practice padel on my own?

You should start by hitting the ball softly against the glass to remove the loop from your swing. Focus on keeping your racket face open and flat to develop control before increasing your intensity.

What this lesson covers

Solo practice on the court develops racket control and footwork before a match. Starting with soft hits against the glass helps players remove the loop from their swing and maintain a compact motion. By keeping the racket face open and flat, players build consistency on both forehand and backhand sides while focusing on soft hands.

Moving beyond simple wall volleys, players can progress to drills that involve changing direction and using the side glass. These exercises mirror groundstrokes and require more movement, which increases the intensity of the warm-up. Practicing these sequences helps players feel the ball better and prepares them for full-court play. These drills are suitable for any player arriving early to the court who wants to improve their technical consistency.
