In this article we offer you a game. Know if you have the eye to quickly detect the technique of your opponents. A few seconds are enough.

When we play tournaments, it is important to detect the strengths and weaknesses of our opponents as quickly as possible in order to set up a game tactic.

We therefore offer you a little game to find out if you have the eye. If you are a professional padel, instructor or other, this is the opportunity to show your skills.

So the scenery is not on a track of padel but tennis, whatever. Try to follow.

Find the mistake

Take a good look, it's not easy. Try to find out what is different about this player.

You found ? Yes ? Perfect.

If it doesn’t, try to figure out if it’s right-handed or left-handed by looking again.

In the case of a right-hander, this tennis player would put the right hand at the bottom of the handle for his forehand, or, the right hand passes once down and once up, weird isn't it?

On the other hand, if you noticed at the first glance this difference in grip between the forehand and the backhand, you are a crack of observation. Did you notice this difference in time? It does not matter.

The message we want to send you with this video is that all players have a different way of approaching things, this is what makes sports rich. In the case of this tennis player, this change of grip does not constitute a handicap. In addition he is a coach and he does not teach his students to play the same way as him.

Au padel maybe this type of player exists, although it is complicated to play at an advanced level like this because the travel time of the ball is shorter and does not give enough time to change the grip, but why Wouldn't we give everyone the opportunity to feel comfortable with their grip, their footwork, their vision of the game?

Does the future of our sport not depend on the possibility that each player can practice his game with his weapons?
