Getting Started with Padel
Padel is an exciting sport that combines elements of tennis and squash. Here are the essential techniques every beginner should master:
1. The Basic Grip
Hold the racket firmly but not too tight. The proper grip is crucial for control.
2. The Serve
Unlike tennis, the serve in padel is underhand. Start with the ball below waist level.
3. Wall Play
Learning to use the walls is what makes padel unique. Practice both defensive and offensive wall shots.
