Understand playing soft in Padel using pace and technique.

🏆 #1 Takeaway - How do you effectively play soft or slow the game down in Padel?
Playing soft means hitting the ball at a medium pace (50-60% power) while maintaining good technique and form, often incorporating spin, rather than simply hitting the ball lightly with poor structure.

What Your Guru Thinks

This is a really useful insight from coach Ewan. He helps clarify what it truly means when coaches tell you to play softer or slow the game down. It's not just about hitting the ball gently; it's about controlling the pace effectively, maintaining your technique, and even using spin. Understanding this concept can add a valuable dimension to your game beyond just hitting hard.
