Pro Tip: Using the Glass – with Chris Salisbury

Hi everyone, it’s Chris Salisbury! The glass is a huge part of padel - learning to use it well makes a massive difference. Here’s a quick tip for every level:

🟢 Beginner: Don’t rush! Let the ball bounce off the glass and come to you. Stay relaxed and take your time on the return.

🔵 Intermediate: Start lobbing after the glass bounce. It’s a great way to reset the point and regain control.

🔴 Advanced: Use the glass to apply pressure—soft shots into corners that bounce off two walls can force mistakes.

Whatever level you're at, remember this: The glass isn’t something to fear—it’s something to master. The more comfortable you are with it, the more the court opens up for you.
