Intro. hello welcome everybody today we are at Peakz
utrecht and we're going to make a video in how you can beat everybody because we have 11 tactics
that will help you to win every single match on the padel court so how you play against tennis
players how you play against blockers how you play against people that are really good in overheads
from hard to do to easy to do what you have to do so number one is super easy to do and it's very
important so could be a controversial list but uh I think it will be nice and today we are here with
Martijn and Martijn is playing for five years he would be a level to apply all the tactics with so
uh no pressure but uh we're going to start right [Music] now and we have sales on
justpadel.com I like it you like it good tactic number 11 volley the overhead so
this is not easy to do you need to make sure High lob volley. that you're playing a high up so it's 10 m here
so maybe not the best to use this tactic in indoor locations but if Martijn has the sun in his eyes
if it's windy this is a great option so outdoor as well because in outdoor clubs you have more
wind than in indoor clubs so use this in outdoor facilities because this is amazing if Martijn
gets the high ball he probably has to look up and this is the moment where I can go to the
net so his partner should tell him s is going so he can either destroy me or play soft in the
center or to the fence you can do everything but this works really well if somebody has very
good overheads but struggles with high lops so the higher the Lob the faster the ball comes
down the more difficult it becomes to play a good shot yes he played in the net I won the point there there multiple solutions for
matin and one of the best ones is soft in the center so if you see somebody
coming closer than net just play soft in the middle line because if I need to
half volley the ball from here it's always complicated exactly so this is
going to hurt me a lot also an option is to just destroy the
net player you know what to do oh exactly so I need to make sure that I Lob
high enough if my Lob is high enough this will become more difficult to do for the Net players
tactic number 10 is soft on the feet volley lob so what Volley lob. I'm going to do now is I'm going to place soft
on the feet of my his contact point is lower than the net and then I'm going to play the ball
over him so if I play soft on his feet he has to go closer to the net so that that means there is
more space behind him you use this tactic against good Smashers because if somebody's very good in
the smash if I Lop High Martijn has a lot of time to do a very good smash so if you play against
very tall opponents or when you're indoors and the roof is very low then you cannot do
the normal l so then you do the volley Lob so the good thing about this tactic is that
you don't get destroyed by somebody's bajada because the ball is probably lower so if I do
a very high Lob the ball has a lot of rebound and it's very easy for the player to bajada that
shot so if somebody has a very good bajada this is a great option it's also a good option to play
the ball in the corner because the ball will die there tactic number nine High Lob stay so now
you're going to play the high Lob on purpose so High lob stay. you will get the ball so if I play very high to
Martijn and he's playing on the left side it is so complicated to for him to keep the ball low if you
play straight we will show that so he's forced to play to me so if I want the ball I can play high
to my time so he plays to me if we want my partner to get the ball we play high to the player on
the right so they play to the right sided player so this works well if one of you is better
than the other or it works well because it is very difficult for the net player to
to do something with that high overhead shot Bing so you see now that if you place the
ball straight the ball comes up a lot so if I am not playing really well I play high to the
player in front of me so they play to me and it's very easy for me to defend because the
ball comes up against the glass uh this also works well if somebody doesn't have like a Bandeja
but more of like a flat shot the closer I am to the fence I would play more towards the fence the
closer I am to the middle the more difficult that angle becomes so high in the middle is also an
option because it's very complicated to drop a fast ball because the higher lob the faster the
ball the more complicated my timing is so this tactic works great if you play Outdoors tactic
number eight and this works well because you you some people they don't know that you play
paddle together but paddle you play together you play doubles so where should you position
your partner if you play a very good vibora this is the tactic good vibora partner gets close so if
I play on the left side I play a very good vibora but I want my partner sometimes if the is an amazing
shot I want them to put their on the net to play por quatro por tres or whatever or good Drop shots
because you can win points if your vibora is very very good oh so if my partner is playing a very good
vibora and I'm staying at the second post there's too much space in front of me so you
can see now that Martijn wins the point easily he can take over the he plays soft on
my feet I'm gone this mostly occurs if I am watching my partner so the ball comes high and
I'm going with my partner backwards but if my partner is going to play the vibora or the bandeja
I can just stay here I don't need to to go back so this is likely to happen if you watch your
partner and if you move with your partner if your partner is going to play the bandeja stay and
go at least to the first post so first post if the ball is amazing yeah you just put it on the
net tactic number seven is short and angles this Short and Angles. is a tactic that you should use when the court
is very very slow so if you play deep when the cord is slow the ball comes up against the glass
so you actually want to play shorter so if the court is fast ball straight is also complicated
and this is not really the case when the cord is slow so if the court is slow it will be better
to play more against the fence and to make angles yes so if the court is
slow I can always play to Defence so the ball doesn't even have
to reach the glass you just need to make your opponent move a lot and
if it's an overhead we do this so I played the first vibora very deep
behind the line Martijn could easily defended the shot the second
time I played the overhead the ball bounced before the line and it
was way more complicated to defend use the fence because if the court is slow
the fence always works so angles is the fence the side wall short is before the uh line
tactic number six anti block so how do you play Anti Block. against players that are very good in blocking
every single ball well we're going to create the Magic Triangle and when we build up the point
we start part outside the triangle what are you talking about s oh let me show you so if you are
a good blocker it is very easy if the ball comes inside the orange cones because you can block
everything so if you're going to play against somebody that's very good in blocking you need to
either play to the fence to the middle or maybe a drop shot so this is how we're going to play after
you play the Amazing shot to the center you you can play in the Triangle because the opponent
has to move back also if you play deep this blocking person does not really care because
they can block from a volley or half volley so it would be even better to play a little bit softer
the middle or the fence or the drop shot so this is very comfortable for Martijn he can he can just
stay there and he's even able to use the glass yes so I'm not going to hurt him because he can
block well and he can defend well so I need to play outside the cones so this also works
well against people that are very good in defending the corner with the glass because
if they are in the corner they know exactly how to defend the glass yeah so now I can put
pressure on is more tough to defend the corner oh nice if Martijn is very good in blocking my
vibora maybe I need to change my decision with the overheads yes so now he's forced to use the glass
way more complicated or I could play to defense n tactic number five keep your cross so if your
opponents are very like the same kind of level Keep your cross. it would be good to start cross because if you
start cross you can hurt them more than straight so if I play on the left I just play more to the
player on the left because if I play more to the player in front of me I cannot hurt him that
that much so I prefer to start cross courts and then find out if you can find a weakness in
somebody's game because how somebody warms up is not always the same as in the actual match so
this is great to start the match with to start cross and take it from there also if you're
defending let's say I'm at the Net a play on the right side for Martijn one of the best options
is to play on my back end here because I cannot play in the corner so much so if this is your
basic shot it helps a lot if Martijn is playing on the left side playing to my forehand here
is one of the best options because it's hard for me to make the corner so I'm going to
show that I have my forehand volley here but I cannot hurt him that much I can actually
hurt my time more if I play with my back end yeah I can make the cord a lot bigger I can let
him run way more I did not play so fast I just used the right angles Quatro is attack the left
why would you attack to the left side because Attack the left. if you play more to the defender on the left
side your partner can help and interfere with a forehand which we will show you this is the best
tactic to avoid getting into the fridge so if you play on the left side and you are in the fridge
you're not getting the ball it is most likely that your partner is playing cross courts if your
partner plays cross courts I cannot do that much because if my partner on right side is playing
cross I need to defend my fence I cannot go much to the center so this is a tactic if your one
of you is worse than the other or one of you is better than the other depends how you say it or if
one opponent is better than the other one or just the best paddle tactic play more to the player
on the left side because the left player can do more that's a my forehand oh so you see I cannot hurt Sas that much
because I need to poach with my backhand so this is a very very big difference if you have a
lefty and a right-handed player you can do both so you can also play more straight if
they play more to you so let's say I'm defending I want to play more I want to
play more with the player in front of me so let's say Martijn is playing on the right
side his partner is better than him then he should play his forehand to the back end of
the left player because then I will switch or I play straight to Martijn which is easier
to Def defend so is a little bit not the same kind of tactic but you have to understand
that playing straight sometimes is a better option yes especially if my is going to play
high on my back end I need to switch but if I am in this position and I switch my
partner has a very big gap to that side so this is what you could do to force somebody
to change direction tactic number three slow play which is not easy to do because for
many players it's very difficult to slow Slow play. down the ball so just a quick technique tip
if you want to slow down make your back swing smaller but not your follow through many
people start from here and then they stop this is not how you play Slow playing slow
is better if your record is closer to you and then you go forwards why should you play the slow
play tactic if you play against very good tennis players they like it when you play very fast so
they actually play better if you play fast so you should play slow so what you should do they
should go fishing when they're close to the net so that means the ball should be lower than the
net or it's higher than them I also explain this as instead of playing against your opponent you're
playing with your opponent let them run a lot so if Martin is now very close to the net I play high
if they if he's further away from net I play very slow but I'm not going to accelerate so this
is how you should play if somebody likes speed yeah so now time played fast
I played faster to him so if you're defending if you accelerate
it becomes harder for you and easier for the net player so what happens if
he play slow and mixes it up with the Lop ah yeah so if you say congrat ulations if
you say well if I play Slow they do it out of the court with the por quatro if they are that
close you play the Lob if they're further you play down it is impossible for me to accelerate the
ball if my contact point is lower than the net so it becomes super easy for the defender to
defend this ball so either your opponent is at the second post to play on his feet or is at
the first post you just play the lob and if you know how to play like this this is the easiest
thing to do because everything else becomes so easy oh tactic number two play in the middle play
in the open space for me this is fundamentals the Middle. one of the easiest tactics in paddle the best
best best way for a lot of Padel players volley in the center and especially volley in front
of the white line because then the ball will be lower and your opponent cannot take that
before the the the glass it's impossible so playing from the wi line play in the middle in
the middle glass and then play the open space so if Martijn is going to get that ball I play in
the open space that's it just keep doing that if your volley is good enough your opponent is not
able to play the Lob if you play your volley deep behind the line then it's easy for them
to play the lop and then then you are getting lobed oh yeah I will get lobbed if I
play also on the fourth glass so for me this is too easy to defend it's the
worst play the worst place to play the ball because he always gets it back so
this is too easy yeah oh getting lobed yeah I also getting loved because my ball is bouncing behind the line
so this is the key to this tactic that's it ladies and gentlemen so easy
tactic number one which is by far the best Number one. tactic that I use that helped me won so many
matches and that is playing the Lop over the left shoulder of the player on the right side
if you play against two right-handed players this is by far the best ever way to make it
so easy for yourself and also your opponents are forced to play the bandeja vibora which is a
more difficult shot than the smash for most players so you force them to think it is just
so good it also helps because if they play if they have a high back end you can go to the net
and poach the ball if they move around there is a lot of space because they need to move so
much also the player on the left has to move so far out if I play cross courts in the open
space I can win the point from the back of the court this is exactly what we want this is great because now Martin has to move
so much he has to run back every single time so if I play this semi high up he's running
so much and it's very easy for the Defenders they don't have to run everything happens
by itself please let me know what you think is the most important tip that you got
from this video or a tactic that we did not mention that works really really well
