Sound familiar?

You've lost this point before

  1. They're both up at the net. You and your partner are at the back.

  2. Their volley drops short. You take one step in, to mid-court.

  3. The next volley lands at your feet. Nothing to play. Same as last week.

  4. The read: stay behind the service line. Now their volley bounces in front of you.

  5. Then pick your shot: a lob, a chiquita, or firm at a player. That's one situation. The library is built from moments like this one.

How it works

Chess players study.
So why do padel players just play?

You'd revise before an exam. Padel Reads is your revision: read the situation, play it, and with matches it becomes second nature.

  1. Read & remember

    One situation, the call, who moves and why. Two minutes, off court.

  2. Play & apply

    Take 3 into your next match and try them when the moment comes.

  3. Second nature

    After a few matches you stop thinking about it.

Your coach works on the shot. This works on the decision.

40%1of unforced errors in pro matches come in the first four seconds of a rally. Points go wrong early.

Borja · playing the left side
Why I built this

In a lot of situations I didn't know what to do. I kept thinking: God, I wish I had the answer.

I'm Borja. I've played padel since I was 7. I play the left side and I'm 5.5 on Playtomic. I play every day with and against coaches in Spain and Bali.

When I started focusing on strategy, my level went up sharply. So I built Padel Reads for myself first: the answer for each situation, ready before I played. It's built for club players around 2.0-4.5 on Playtomic.

Built from how elite coaches teach these moments, published match research and the FIP rules. Sources on every stat.

Questions

Before you start

Isn't this all free on YouTube?

Free tips are random clips. Here every situation is sorted by the moment you're in, with who moves, the call and why.

Am I good enough for tactics?

Every situation has a level. Beginner ones only use shots you already have.

Will I actually use it?

Pick 3 for your next match and read them in 2 minutes. That's the whole habit.

Can I use it during a match?

Yes. Search what's happening between games, like "they won't leave the net". Court-side mode shows the call in big type.

I'm left-handed

Everything applies to you. Every drawing and video can be mirrored if you play left-handed.

Who's behind it?

Borja. He's played since he was 7, plays the left side and is 5.5 on Playtomic. Why he built it.
