The coach provides advice on how to return hard serves in padel tennis with effectiveness. For reliable returns, he emphasizes the need of understanding the ball’s trajectory and setting the court correctly. The coach suggests that players keep their racket down and their hand slightly locked in a ready position, advising against trying to play the ball before it strikes the glass. Erroneous court placement, inadequate distance from the glass, and tardiness in preparation are frequent mistakes.
To increase confidence and repetition, the coach suggests using a ball machine for practice or having a coach or experienced player serve. Techniques for handling low serves that strike the player are covered in the video, with a focus on blocking the ball back to make the other player take a shot. The coach invites viewers to register for a free trial of the 26-exercise drill course and workout program offered by the Padel School for players of all skill levels on their website.
Last but not least, the coach suggests concentrating on blocking the ball back and keeping it in play rather than trying to return a serve from the back of the court using challenging angles or winners.
