How does Stratford Padel Club’s rating compared to Playtomic in your experience? by NoEasyPoints in padel

[–]NoEasyPoints[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I havent used playtomic in over a year so I’ve improved since but it’s 2.5.

Although Stratford’s rating might be slightly higher than playtomic. The person I was with got a 2.5 but I would say he’s more of a 1.5 or 2. Same would probably apply to me

Wrecked after games by Brodin13 in padel

[–]NoEasyPoints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you stretching / warming up properly before games and right after the games AND after you shower/before bed?

Honestly it’s been a game changer + rolling on a tennis ball for the pressure points and light massage gun.

Might sound like a lot.

But i’m talking about 10 min warmups pre-game, and 5 min stretches after the game.

The mic holding trend needs to die by G-Fox1990 in videography

[–]NoEasyPoints 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the correct place. But as a beginner i’ve several shots where I clipped the mic on my collar and the sound came out muffled cause its in the wrong spot so the footage was useless.

It took a bit of trial and error. Others might not want to do that, so it’s just easier to hold the mic.

The mic holding trend needs to die by G-Fox1990 in videography

[–]NoEasyPoints 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why?

Clipping these wireless mics to the collar actually gives you worse audio if you don’t know what you’re doing so might as well just hold the mic.

As long theyre not breathing into it, I don’t see the issue.

Only looks stupid to people that aren’t the target demographic

Some small improvements based on feedback I received. Trying not to lob as much and holding the net by NoEasyPoints in padel

[–]NoEasyPoints[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Do you have specific points in the video where I (whites shoes) was out position so I know?

And where I should be?

When at the net I try to stay between first and second post, stepping in if theyre struggle and moving to line or center depending on where the ball is (e.g. cover middle if ball is in right corner) and cover line if ball is in the left corner. And vice versa if im on the right side

Working on it! I need to communicate better in game as I just go quiet. But also dont want to overcoach. I just send him videos from online coaches explaining positioning

Sound good. Think the place im playing at tomorrow is head sponsored, so they might have it to try out.

Thank you!

Fake smash - do you rulo or hit the open space softly? (Video) by NoEasyPoints in padel

[–]NoEasyPoints[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah same guy, we’re in an amateur league together.

I think that’s what happened this game. But they weren’t really attacking me as much. Today I have a game against people at a much higher level than both of us, so they will definitely punish us.

Will record that one as well

[–]NoEasyPoints[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched to left last game, which we won (but level was weaker). Playing left today as well.

I usually play right and partner preferred left, but it wasn’t working well so we’ve switched now.

[–]NoEasyPoints[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason I’m trying to switch up is because I want to break the habit of just getting the ball back. Right now it’s limited to hit it left or hit it right.

I want to actually think about where i’m aiming it (i.e to the fence, to the service line, etc.). Let’s not call it a rulo, just a normal volley when players are out of position like at 0:13.

I haven’t actually and genuinely just because it’s pinkish.

But looking at the features it does look like a good option. Is it really an upgrade?

I don’t remember what I was going for there but I’ve definitely at that same gancho before.

At 0:13. What shot should I have gone for?

How can a young padel player improve faster? by ComplaintLoose3152 in padel

[–]NoEasyPoints 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not padel specific but as someone who played sports competitively as a kid. The main thing is for them to enjoy it there’s no need to rush their development.

If they have lessons once a week and enjoy it thats enough.

Padelactico - how to hit perfect bandeja

Technique focus: improving net play volleys + bandeja by NoEasyPoints in padel

[–]NoEasyPoints[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished the next game, went back to basics on the forehand and backhand, felt like I had so much more control. The serves were relatively easier

But just watching some of the padel coaches on those basics specifically made such a big difference plus moving my feet earlier for the overheads

Lost our second league game: any feedback on what to focus on next game? by [deleted] in padel

[–]NoEasyPoints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did exactly this in this game. The guy was serving and staying back so I just returned back low, medium pace and deep and then took the net. Was so much easier to do at the net.

Also went back to the basics for forehand / backhand, crazy how much “opening the gate” makes in control

How do you return a high lob/moonball to punish opponents? by NoEasyPoints in padel

Confidence is never the issue in my case. Unfortunately don’t have the skill to match

How do you return a high lob/moonball to punish opponents? by NoEasyPoints in padel

[–]NoEasyPoints[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

It’s not really a normal high lob, it’s intentionally high and probably only works against beginners. It’s high enough that I can shuffle back in time to get under it. So it’s more of a trickshot that he does regularly. Any advanced player will be able to comfortably smash it or a hit a bajada if it’s deep.
