Two return of serve tips: split step and handling 'aceitosa' serves.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How can I improve my return of serve to be more effective and handle difficult serves?
By adopting a split step with weight forward for better reactivity and learning to step forward and use a firm wrist to handle serves that bounce deep off the side glass ('aceitosa').

What Your Guru Thinks

This lesson with Asier is very insightful for improving your return of serve. He breaks down two key adjustments: using a split step to be more dynamic and how to handle serves that go deep off the side glass, known as 'aceitosa'. Asier explains how shifting your weight forward and stepping into the return can significantly improve your reaction time and power. The practical drills shown should help you implement these changes and feel more confident returning serve.
