Tactical positioning to counter opponent overhead attacks.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How can I defend effectively against strong overheads?
By adjusting your court position after hitting a lob to block the area the opponent favors for their overhead attack, forcing them to hit a different shot.

What Your Guru Thinks

This lesson offers a very practical way to counter an opponent who is hurting you with their overheads after your lob. The coaches provide simple, actionable steps focusing on your court position to neutralize their attack. It helps you understand that sometimes the best tactic is to take away the opponent's favorite shot, forcing them to play something they are less comfortable with. This kind of adaptive thinking is crucial as you improve your game.
