Mastering the setup shot in padel can give you a strategic edge. Here are a few quick tips:
-
Aim for Placement
Target the corners or near the walls. This forces opponents to play more challenging returns. -
Control Height and Speed
Keep the ball low and use moderate speed to make it harder for opponents to attack. -
Use the Walls
Try bouncing the ball off the back or side walls to create unpredictable angles. -
Add Spin
Topspin makes the ball drop faster, while slice keeps it low. Both spins make returns tougher. -
Stay Tactical
Observe your opponent's movements and place your shots to throw them off balance.
With these tips, you’ll increase your control and make each shot count!
