In the YouTube video “IMPROVE Your RETURNS From the LEFT! | ThePadelSchool.com,” the coach highlights the significance of returning serves effectively, especially on the left hand side, in padel tennis. The primary goal is to keep the ball in play, as errors create opportunities for opponents. For easier serves, the coach suggests lobbing the ball over opponents’ heads and charging in with a partner.
For more challenging serves against the glass, different techniques are recommended based on the player’s skill level. At lower levels, popping up a lob may be easier, while intermediate players should focus on blocking the ball back to the server’s feet. Advanced players can reintroduce lobbing.
The coach emphasizes the importance of practicing with the glass and recommends working with a partner or using a ball machine to enhance return skills. The video also provides resources for enhancing returns on the right hand side and access to exclusive content on ThePadelSchool.com with a free trial.
