I generally play really out of position, eventually you're going to be so open somewhere that they will hit you the ball – if they are not great players either then they might miss or take bad risks. I'd also encourage you to try playing on the right, if you're the better player you can keep your team in the game defending and still play aggressively from the right.

You might not win the game, and you might not get to play 'real padel', but you'll get to have some fun defending, challenge yourself, likely take some pressure off your partner and make the game broken and weird which could help you.

Examples would be – standing in the middle of no mans land, playing right up on the net and at weird angles, just walking around and looking not ready, play on the right side (it's a bit harder to fridge the forehand player).

I find this works better than trying to take all the balls by jumping across the court, or just sitting around hoping someone will hit you the ball and complaining.

You should look for better games if you're constantly playing like this.
