How to Play 'Close to Glass' - Padel Tips 

Short back swing preparation helps a lot if you are trying to hit the ball without touching side wall. You gain a lot of control and, in most of these cases, you only need little back swing to be able hit the ball back consistently. Thanks for another great video Sandy!

Thanks Sandy!! Clear and useful as always! Saludos desde México!!

If the ball is SUPER close to the side glass (like if the opponent plays down the line from close to the side glass on their side), one option is to actually place the racket in such a way that it touches the side glass and then swipe the racket forwards towards the ball all the while still touching the glass. It is definitely not a GREAT option, but can be better than trying to hit it regularly - again, only if the ball is really super close to the glass.

Great tips. Thanks Sandy

Great explination thanks again Sandy

A very usefull video Sandy! Great like always. Vamos

Thanks Sandy, what about the ones that are close to the back glass that just die because it's damp. Any tips on back hand corner dying ones?

Great videos! Thank you

Great video once again! 😊

Thanks!

close to the side glass: my best shot is the 2nd choice.. on the back glass, if it’s far in the back, 3rd choice!!

what about a side glass but on the other side how to defend it with a back hand?

thanks

what about in the corner where it has bounced already and it just dies?

Why hit topspin on the last option?

I always end up smashing my racket against the glass lmao

you are advising your viewers to use the lob towards the back glass an tell them that it shows sort of desperation and when they get the answer with a lob towards their own back glass they shouldn't respond in the same way because it shows desperation?! Don't agree with that at all, especially in beginner/low advanced matches/tournaments you literally wear your opponets out and frustrate them beyond belief with those lobs towards the back glass. If you just peacticed those lobs a bit or got a good ballcontrol through any other racketsport you can take home easy wins without even moving alot. Even at more advanced levels you get alot of free points through players that are to confident with their smashing skills or try themselves to mirror your shots without practice. Using the back glass will always be some kind of cheeky shot like a tweener or if used more than 1-3 times some sign of desperation and mis-movement 😅
