Understanding padel defense using red, yellow, and green balls.
What Your Guru Thinks
This covers a fundamental concept in padel defense. Coach Dani explains a simple yet effective way to classify the balls you receive while defending. Understanding the difference between red, yellow, and green balls helps you make better decisions on court. It's a great framework for knowing when to just survive and when to look for the opportunity to transition to attack.

Defense in padel is about survival and smart decision-making, and understanding the three types of defensive balls will help you become a better player:
🔴 Red Balls – When you're under pressure and have no time, just keep the ball in play
🟡 Yellow Balls – When you have more control, start building the point and create opportunities
🟢 Green Balls – When you get an easy ball, use the lob to take the net and switch to attack
