In the padel, like in tennis, you don't necessarily know what it means to “have good coordination”. Is this a particular way of moving on the ground? Is it necessary to carry out specific movements padel ? We will try to tell you more.

The coordination between the lower body and the upper body is a very important factor in padel. The upper body should be relaxed while remaining compact. The lower body must always be in motion as quickly as possible and especially as flexed as possible. This is sometimes a headache and the player has the feeling of not having time or of being too slow to be in good condition to play his stroke.

Le padel is a sport where taking your time is very important. To give yourself time and be more comfortable (especially in defense), the keys and to prepare your stroke (the racket) and then to adjust with the legs. The reverse would be a waste of time and above all much more complex to achieve.

When the ball comes on your forehand, when you read that the ball came on that, you must directly prepare your racket and then just think of adjust the legs. The positive side is that your preparation is already ready so the only thing you need to think about is your placement relative to the ball and you will not have to worry about or put your racket, or be surprised by the glass or the speed of the ball.

To become better in your coordination, of course you have several little physical game with your feet, then an alternation between the hands and the feet and especially your eye. The faster you read the trajectory of the ball, the faster you can be and have the perfect positioning.
