5 Essential Tips When Starting Padel
New to padel? You're not alone—this fast-growing sport is exploding across the UK and Europe. Whether you're transitioning from tennis or picking up a racket for the first time, here are 5 essential tips to help you start strong on the padel court.
1. Master the Walls
Padel’s biggest twist is the glass. Use it to your advantage—let the ball bounce off the back wall to give yourself more time and better angles.
2. Focus on Control Over Power
Unlike tennis, padel rewards precision. Start with soft, well-placed shots instead of trying to hit winners every time.
3. Communication Is Key
Padel is a doubles-only game. Talk to your partner, switch sides smoothly, and work as a team to dominate the court.
4. Wear the Right Gear
Supportive shoes with good grip and lightweight, breathable padel apparel make a huge difference—especially in summer heat.
5. Positioning Wins Games
Stay close to your partner and control the net when you can. It's all about movement and positioning.
