Strategy to use overheads to keep net position.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How to use the "touch and recover" strategy in Padel?
Use a soft overhead (Gancho) hit close to the baseline, recover your net position quickly before the opponent hits, allowing you to maintain control and look for attacking opportunities with volleys.

What Your Guru Thinks

This lesson is really helpful for understanding how to maintain control at the net after receiving lobs. The coach explains the "touch and recover" concept, showing you how to hit a softer overhead to buy time. It's a great way to avoid getting pushed back and stay in an aggressive position. Mastering this can change how you play against opponents who try to lob you constantly.
