Tips for returning serves off the sidewall.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How should I handle a serve that goes off the sidewall?
Make a quick decision whether to play the ball before or after the sidewall based on where it hits the panel, use a low, compact racket preparation, turn side-on, and push or block the ball flat for consistency.

What Your Guru Thinks

This covers a tricky situation many players face on the court. The coach, Ewan, offers some practical advice for handling serves that go wide and hit the sidewall. He emphasizes making a quick decision, which is crucial in Padel. Breaking down the sidewall into sections to guide your decision is a clever way to think about it. The technical tips for the shot itself are simple and focused on consistency, which is key in returning serve.
