I thought you were a lefty Sandy but here you play on the right and righty. I've probably dreamt. Thanks for the video, before I didn't realised the difference between the normal lob and the fast lob and the different situations we used it. Now it's clear, thanks! :-)
@@ThePadelSchool 🤣 sorry I've probably confused you with somebody else I've recently played with, maybe one of my coaches in my club who is lefty playing on the right 👍
Whether help guys... in spanish is called "globo", it means balloon literally. And "semiglobo" = fast lob. Probably this is the best F. Belasteguin's shot. So long fellows! 🖖
Very nice. Thank you for the informative video!! I am actually curious....You played and coached tennis for a long time I suppose, and now you coach and play Padel? I hope you make a video on how it happened? What did you feel? What made you take this decision! because I suppose it is a big decision...because tennis is a really nice game specially that you didn't only play, you also coached, which is a different story, so it was your career.... I know this happened to many tennis players, that they decide to play only Padel...I am always curious to hear their stories.. Wanna share yours?
Yes, I played competitive tennis for 15-20 years, then coached on the WTA & ATP tours for a few years, before working with academies. I started padel about 8 years ago and felt if I wanted to become a proper padel player I'd need to move away from the tennis. By that stage, I was excited to leave the tennis behind and learn something new. I didn't enjoy the loneliness of tennis. I went to loads of futures/challenger tournaments on my own (airport, hotel, courts, hotel, airport...). I played college tennis in US and loved the team aspect. I feel I have a little of that with padel. I also prefer padel from a coaching aspect, small changes can make big improvements and starting from scratch with adults is possible (you don't need 10+ lessons to get them to rally). To be honest, I don't miss the tennis. Now I enjoy competing in international padel tournaments and the atmosphere is so different to tennis. I think the sport will only grow, so I hope my commitment to padel was a good choice...time will tell! ha
@@ThePadelSchool Thank you for the detailed answer. Exactly! time will tell, but for me, all the indicators shows that Padel will continue to grow...that's a fact for me...how fast, it depends on what all enthusiasts do now and keep doing for the coming years... i am glad you're doing what you're doing...so good luck and keep it up ...hopefully we play one day...:)
A clear explanation on how important this shot is in padel...... and that we don't practice it enough. Well done.
A very good video as always , you explain it in a easy way. Vamos padel.
