To start the year off right, here is a tip that could save your padel season : put away the balls that are lying around on the track. Do not let them wander around on the track. The consequences can be dramatic.

Take a few seconds to check that the track does not become a dangerous zone. A forgotten ball can cause a fall and result in serious injury or even girl.

The founder of Padel Stuff, Andoni Bardascao, regularly insists on this crucial point:

"There was a time, even among professionals, when people allowed themselves to play without really putting the balls away. Fortunately, this practice is a thing of the past. During one match, I observed a second serve by Paquito where a ball, supposed to be put away under the net, had not been completely removed. This may seem harmless, but it was a common custom at the time, now forbidden."

He adds: “Keep in mind that it is dangerous leaving balls lying around, especially near the net. Consider keeping them in your pockets or placing them next to the posts.

Never neglect this simple gesture : secure the track to avoid any incidents. Now that this point is clear, let's get to the game!
