Sandy discusses the importance of defending attacks in the left-hand corner of the padel court, focusing on the challenges of receiving attacking slice smashes with heavy side spin. The decision to use the double glass depends on the ball’s height and rotations, with players more likely to encounter low, rotating balls on the left side.
The video demonstrates the importance of staying in position and being aware of which glass the ball contacts first to effectively defend against viboras and bandejas, while also preparing for flatter or top-spin smashes. Sandy encourages players to let the ball hit the glass to better understand the rebound and improve their skills, emphasizing the importance of practice and confidence in this area. The video also includes a course on the walls for those who find this aspect of padel tennis particularly challenging.
