Show Notes

When a tennis player takes to the court there are often a few areas they are pretty good at, but there are also areas that often are more difficult...

In this episode, we are joined by Tom Farquharson who has recently gone through the conversion from tennis to padel. Tom and I discuss the advantages and disadvantages for tennis players, the transitioning process, as well as the growing/transfer pains.

The one thing that tennis players (who have been taught) do, that non-racket sports players do not do is… the Split Step. When it comes to shot preparation and movement, this is so crucial. So if you come from a different sport, try to learn the split step from the moment you start padel!
