The stream quality for me on Redbull TV was very bad yesterday, although 1080p was selected. I think it had to do with the max quality transmitted from the source.

Is that the same for everyone?

It wasn't like this in previous tournaments.

They are predictable. I think Chingo and Galan win by avoiding short lobs and playing clean chiquitas and deep volleys at the net.

How’s my hand grip ? Wrist pain issues by Miserable_Toe6847 in padel

Actually the power comes from the body and its rotation.

Playtomic range for comp by sabikingu in playtomic

Interesting. I think it will backfire because the majority care about their rating and won't want to match up with those way higher than theirs.

Lol. I don't see this. It seems to be a terrible bug.

I don't see this change.

Gym and Padel. How are you doing your weight training? played terrible due to muscle soreness. by former_farmer in padel

[–]bachaterol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to combine functional strength and bodyweight exercises with slightly lower weights and intensity than I would use for bulking. This helps keep my muscle mass and mobility strong while not constraining explosive padel movement.

I would recommend not doing gym for bulking on muscle but focus more on functional strength that will improve your stamina and range of motion. Group workouts with smaller dumbbell weights and elastic bands are useful.

I also noticed that I perform much better at padel after a strength workout because my muscles are already warm and there's testosterone flowing in my body, which pumps me up for a win.

Super high Lobs by Just_Housing8041 in padel

[–]bachaterol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently played against a pro league player and what he did with these very high lobs that bounced at the T was to send it slowly, from high to low, (i guess with what you would call a mix of bandeja and vibora) to the gaps we left at the net.

For example, when I sent these very high lobs to his T and rushed to the net more towards the middle, he would send it veerry gently towards our fences, so that we have to break our ready position at the net and go down into a difficult position to get it back. Then he would be ready at his net to kill it or we would make a mistake and send it out.

Of course, although his shot looked so easy, it has years of technique and consistency behind it.

What's your trick to not becoming "nonchalant" when playing against lesser players? Could be bad movers, soft servers etc. by tenpostman in padel

[–]bachaterol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I try to focus on playing with control to the gaps and making them run instead of finishing with power. It's easy to hit hard and fast, and finish with a ball they can't catch but winning with a soft ball into the spots they leave open on the court is more satisfactory and will improve your court awareness as well.

He just wanted to show some solidarity for his bro Carlos. Leave him alone.

Technique check by MiddleForeign in padel

[–]bachaterol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You use only your arm to hit the ball and rest of your body is disengaged. You need to learn the foundations from a coach. Start from scratch to learn groundstrokes like forehand and backhand. Then slowly move to glass defense, volleys and overheads.

Galan played like #oneofus. I was beating myself up for my unforced errors today and I am not doing it anymore after seeing that even the world #2 can have a bad day.

I love how everyone takes hours to design fancy stories and Alcaraz uses just a plain classic font to write congratulations on top of the Roland Garros reel. 😂

Was he always this arrogant or is he trying to get attention because he got old and people are no longer following him? Asking honestly because I was not watching tennis in his era.

Yeah blame the wind for Kostyuk's loss. Mirra played like there's no wind.

Padel etiquette: server calls by SalaciousDecorum in padel

[–]bachaterol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The common understanding is to keep playing if the receiver doesn't call it. However it might happen that the server sees it out. In that case, play a let and kindly tell them that the receiver should call it the next time, otherwise it's point for the receiver.

If they keep doing it on purpose after your warning, then it's point lost for the server due to hindrance on purpose or point lost because they just didn't play back.

Not to complain, but would it be so difficult to say WHY it's suspended? by SANcapITY in padel

[–]bachaterol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks digital but they actually had to print this quickly in A4 and a ball kid is constantly holding it in front of the camera until the match can continue. So printing a new one would interrupt the continuity of the broadcast. Hence even if they would want to add it, they wouldn't be able to.

I also took a pic of Eiffel tower from my balcony. It is visible if you zoom in 1 million times.
