10 Beginner Padel Mistakes (and quick fixes)

Fix 2 of these and you level up

Top 10 mistakes + quick fixes

  1. Always hitting hard → slow down and add height
  2. Running too much → position yourself early
  3. Going to the net without criteria → only after a comfortable ball
  4. Looking at the ball late → visual anticipation
  5. Not using the glass → practice 10 reps with the glass per session
  6. Volley like a punch → control first
  7. Short lob → height + depth
  8. Deciding late → one rule: either lob or chiquita
  9. Not talking to partner → 1 word per point
  10. Weak serve → routine + target

The pattern

Most beginners make the same 3 mistakes:

  • Too much power, not enough control
  • Moving too late
  • Zero communication

Fix these first and everything else gets easier.
