Padel Serve: Consistency, Direction & Net Transition

Build a dependable underarm serve that gives your pair time to take the net. Work on a repeatable contact before adding spin or pace.

Set up

Place targets in the service box and practise from both sides. After every serve, make a controlled move towards net position.
