The coach explores the question of which side is optimal for padel, suggesting that new players test out both sides before making a decision. The left side is characterized as the more aggressive position, where players often move swiftly and cover the middle and corners. Right-handed players on the left side may benefit from an aggressive backhand and improved control of the court’s center.
In contrast, right-handed players on the right side assume a more solid role, setting up points and demonstrating precise ball control through good footwork. However, these are general guidelines, and exceptions exist, particularly among elite players who may switch sides or employ unconventional playing styles. Ultimately, the speaker encourages new players to experiment with both sides before committing to one.
