Hi padel school normally when I see my opponent is going to hit a fast bajada I prefer to be very close to the net. This way it is more difficult to make angles for my opponent, but more importantly I can (almost) always hint the ball above the height of the net which makes it easier. Even if i don't hit it well it almost always will go over het net because I am so close to the net. Yes it gives me less time, but it also gives my opponent less time after my block. The only downside is if the unexpectedly play a lob, so it is important to know sure the play a fast bajada. So if you are sure your opponent is playing a fast bajada wouldn't it be better to be very close to the net, yes you have a little bit less time, but you don't need to hit the ball well to still play a difficult shot for your opponent.
Depends on your current "issue" I guess. If you get them into the net now that might be an option, or you could change the angle of your racket a bit. If you are blocking the ball and it goes against the back glass it doesn't make sense to move forwards more, but there again you can also slightly change the angle of your racket.
Thanks for the video! What happens if you are at the back of the court on the right hand side, the ball is coming from the opposite side and you can clearly tell that the opponent is going to smash a cross-court from close to net position. Should I be running forward or stay at the back to block?
Depends on a couple of things. 1 how good can your opponent smash, if your opponent can smash very good an for example can hit the ball 4 meters high over the net, or can hit it very good out of the court running forwards is useless because you can never get that ball. 2 how much time do you have to run forwards. If your opponent fan samsh on a very low lob and you are still very far backwards in the court you don't have enough time to run forwards so again blocking would be better. If you have te time to run forwards and your opponent doesn't have a incredible good smash I would always run forward. This way you can counter attack them in stead of awkwardly defend in the back of the court
Neebie here so bare with me. Trying to find the answer for this question; Can I use my back wall and then also my side wall to do a return? So basically a two touch on the wall to return a ball?
After the serve has made a bounce in your box, you may return the serve in whatever way you see fit as long as it’s within the rules of the game. In theory yes, you could return the ball by hitting it against your own back glass, it then bounces on your side glass and then crosses the net on to your opponents’ side.
Hi Padel School. Nice video as always but I think the title is wrong?
Hi! Thanks for noticing, all good now 👌🏻 Hope you liked the video, though! 😁

Indeed, the one and only. Go check that video out!

Excellent video. (Title?)
Sorry, a bit too quick on the copy/paste there 😂
