Strategy tips to beat better Padel players.

🏆 Your #1 Takeaway

How can I improve my strategy when playing against better Padel opponents?

Focus on playing safe and keeping the ball in play, choosing when to take calculated risks (like a good lob), using the psychological pressure on the opponent, and accepting that you will sometimes lose points.

What Your Guru Thinks

This is very useful if you often find yourself losing against players you feel you *should* be able to beat. The coaches focus on the mental and tactical side of the game, offering practical advice on how to approach matches where the opponent has a higher skill level. It's less about specific shots and more about game plan and mindset, which is crucial for improving.
