Using small steps for balanced defense from back glass.

🏆 Your #1 Takeaway

How should I move when defending from the back glass in Padel?

Use small, adjusting steps to stay light on your feet, maintain balance, and properly set up your shot after the ball bounces off the back glass. Avoid large, static steps that limit your ability to adapt.

What Your Guru Thinks

This covers a really important foundational concept for playing from the back court. The coach explains how staying light on your feet with small adjustments helps you react correctly after the ball bounces off the glass. Avoiding big steps is key to maintaining balance and setting up your shots properly. It's a simple idea, but mastering this movement will significantly improve your defensive game.
