Step by step
Finding the right drill
Use the filters to find drills for your sport, skill level, and the specific issue you want to fix. Start with drills labeled as "high priority" for your current diagnosis.
How drills are organized
Drills are grouped by the swing issue they address — for example, club path, face angle, attack angle, timing, or contact point. Completing drills in a sequence is more effective than doing them randomly.

Full transcript
- In padel the wall is your friend — most points are lost by panicking off the glass, not by the shot itself.
- Start with the let-it-come drill: feed a ball into the back glass and just track it, learning how high and far it kicks before you swing.
- Wait for the ball to drop off the wall into your strike zone; the most common mistake is hitting it too early and too high.
- Use a compact, controlled swing to reset deep or lob, rather than trying to crush a ball that is moving away from you.
- Keep your body turned and your eyes on the rebound, not on your opponents — the wall changes the timing every time.
- Filter the Drill Library to padel and the defence area so the drills match the back-wall situation.
- Track how often you reset the point calmly versus going for too much off the glass.
- Re-check after a few sessions; staying in more rallies off the wall is the honest sign it is working.
