  • Know you NEED to slow the ball down - but HOW??
    Dec 6 2024

    A common theme last week in our clinics in South Africa was working with players to slow the speed of the ball down.

    This is extremely difficult to do when the other players on the court hit so fast, but in this solo episode Sandy explains the best way to do that!

    Another example of the glass being your friend in order to hit chiquitas and lobs! We highly recommend players get comfortable with the glass as early as possible and learn to control the speed of their padel to continue to improve.
