High-ball discipline
Success target: A positive score over 20 balls (deep placements beating errors).
How to run it
- 01Partner feeds floaty, tempting balls at shoulder height — the ones that beg to be smashed.
- 02Your only allowed answers: a deep controlled volley or a bandeja placed to the corner. No smashes.
- 03Every ball that goes out or into the net is minus two; deep placements are plus one.
- 0420 balls, then swap.
Why it works
The tempting high ball is padel's biggest trap below advanced level — discipline on that one ball removes a match's worth of gift errors.
