The Padel Playbook: Intermediate & Advanced

You already play. Now play it right. This is the book for players who can rally, know the rules and want to climb from level 3 to level 5 and beyond.

It goes deep on the shots that separate levels: the full overhead family (bandeja, víbora, rulo, por tres, por cuatro and gancho), and the touch game at the net (volleys, chiquita, lobs, bajadas and drops). Every shot comes with court diagrams showing where to stand, where to aim and what happens next.

Beyond technique, it covers the tactics that win close matches: positioning and transitions as a pair, playing the back, side and double walls, the patterns that win points at club level, what Premier Padel pairs repeat, and how to build a real partnership with roles and communication.

The last part is about getting better: twelve drills, weekly training plans, padel fitness and injury prevention, the mental game, tournament formats, twenty-four habits that cost points, tracking your progress with stats and video, and the unwritten rules good players follow.
