Free Points Decide Matches
Unforced errors, poor decisions, and rushed shots often decide matches more than winners.
High-Risk Shots at the Wrong Time
Avoid:
-
Down-the-line winners under pressure
-
Low-margin volleys
-
Smash attempts from bad position
Smart padel is selective padel.
Poor Recovery Positioning
Many errors happen after a good shot.
-
Always recover
-
Reset formation
-
Expect the ball back
Communicate Earlier
Late calls cause:
-
Hesitation
-
Missed shots
-
Confusion
Clear communication eliminates free points.
Final Thoughts
Remove free points from your game and your win rate jumps immediately.
