Mari and the coach give tips on how to get better at defense in paddle tennis. First, players should maintain a defensive stance between the service line and the back R. They will be able to respond to rebounded balls more effectively and make more shots as a result. The second tip is to respond fast to the ball’s bounce. Aim for a straight shot if the ball bounces in front of the line; if it bounces behind the line, immediately prepare for a shot.
The advanced advice is to adapt to the level of play and make more challenging choices as time and control rise. Players should prepare and contact the ball at their level, stay close to the ball for quick reaction, and practice L and chiquita strokes to keep their opponent guessing. Generally speaking, it is emphasized that quick thinking, precise positioning, and timely preparation are necessary for an effective paddle tennis defense.
