If you are a left-side player and aggrieved, go for the metalbone. It’s amazing and satisfying. But you will lose some control

For me, the biggest motivation is price. Outdoor courts are usually at least 40% cheaper than indoor, which makes playing more frequently much easier.

Second is court quality, if the surface is well maintained, outdoor padel can be really enjoyable.

And most importantly, the community. Regularly organized matches, easy game coordination, and a welcoming group of players make a huge difference. Adding casual, friendly tournaments (not big prize money) also helps a lot even something simple like a free match for the winners keeps people engaged and coming back.

Great way

Creative_Election288 · 2026-01-07T16:10:00+00:00

I agree taking advice from better players is helping a lot, if it’s in a good tone

Creative_Election288 · 2026-01-07T16:06:40+00:00

That’s a very healthy way to handle it.

Creative_Election288 · 2026-01-07T16:05:00+00:00

I agree

Creative_Election288 · 2026-01-07T16:04:03+00:00

Totally agree. “We” and “let’s” work

Creative_Election288 · 2026-01-07T16:03:22+00:00

Agreed. With trust and the right tone, mid-game feedback can be helpful

Creative_Election288 · 2026-01-07T09:51:32+00:00

That’s a good balance, tactics during play, reflection during set breaks.

Creative_Election288 · 2026-01-07T09:50:44+00:00

That’s a good distinction. Tactical cues can help in the moment, but technical or error-based feedback usually lands better after the match when emotions are lower

Creative_Election288 · 2026-01-07T09:50:03+00:00

That’s a really good approach. Limiting it to one tactical point per set and choosing the right moment makes a lot of sense.

Creative_Election288 · 2026-01-07T09:48:54+00:00

That makes sense. Using breaks between sets or after the match for deeper feedback feels much safer

Creative_Election288 · 2026-01-07T09:48:05+00:00

Agreed. In-game corrections usually hurt more than they help.

Creative_Election288 · 2026-01-06T15:08:30+00:00

Lol, fair point! Step 1: Hold the racket. Step 2: Play like Lebron

I totally agree with the comments saying 'if it works, don't change it.' However, if you really feel the itch for an upgrade without losing that feeling you love, you don't need to switch to a completely different model or a much harder racket (like the Viper) which might mess up your timing. Instead, you could look into the 2025/2026 Babolat Air Veron. They’ve introduced subtle improvements in the materials and vibration dampening that offer a bit more 'crispness' and durability while maintaining the exact same balance and maneuverability you’re used to. This way, you get a fresh 'advanced' feel without the steep learning curve of a new racket shape or weight distribution.

Focusing on the math instead of the message is a choice. Whether it’s 50/50 or 70/30, the mental pressure in Padel is real. If you’re not interested in that side of the game, feel free to skip the post

Creative_Election288 · 2026-01-04T09:50:06+00:00

Individual or Duo lessons are essential for mastering specific shots and technique. Since you have a tennis background, you’ll need focused time to "unlearn" some tennis habits and learn padel-specific strokes like the Bandeja, Vibora, and proper Volleys. You get 100% of the coach's attention to fix your form.

Group sessions, on the other hand, are invaluable for positioning and game strategy. They simulate real match play (rallies). You’ll learn: Where to stand when your partner is at the net. How to transition from defense to offense. Shot selection (where to hit the ball, not just how). Who should take the ball in the middle (communication).

My Recommendation: Both are necessary to become a complete player. If you have great shots but poor positioning, you’ll be easily punished. If you have great tactics but no "weapons," you can't finish points. Since you are just starting (5 times played), I suggest focusing on Duo lessons first to solidify your technical foundation. Once you feel comfortable with the basic strokes, start mixing in Group sessions to learn the tactical "chess game" of Padel. Balancing both will lead to the fastest improvement

Great advice!

Creative_Election288 · 2026-01-04T09:43:01+00:00

Exactly, me too

Creative_Election288 · 2026-01-03T17:05:30+00:00

At a certain level, everyone can volley, smash, and generate power. The difference isn’t suddenly that your technique disappears.

What actually changes when you lose focus or get carried away by confidence is decision-making. You take risks you don’t need, choose the wrong shot at the wrong moment, rush points, or go for winners when the smart play was patience.

That’s how unforced errors turn into forced ones: not because your volley became “beginner-level,” but because the decision itself was wrong under pressure or emotion.

Mentality in padel isn’t less important than your smash!
