Tiger Padel Series – The Potato Overhead Explained

In this session, we break down one of the most misunderstood shots in padel: the overhead game (the “air game”). Many players coming from tennis struggle with the overhead in padel — not because of technique alone, but because of understanding. In padel, the goal isn’t always to hit harder. It’s about control, positioning, and giving yourself time to dominate the net. In this lesson we cover: Why the overhead in padel is different from tennis Understanding the correct impact point (the “clock” concept) The importance of shoulder loading and rotation Why a shorter backswing improves control How to “push” or “drive” the ball instead of hitting down on it Why pace control is more important than power The tactical advantage of playing cross-court to the sidewall How to build a reliable “potato overhead” you can trust in matches The key takeaway? Don’t rush. Don’t force winners. Build a shot you can trust, control the rally, recover your net position — and attack when the opportunity is obvious. Padel is simple in appearance… but complex in execution. 🎾 Focus on repetition. 🎾 Build trust in your overhead. 🎾 Control before you attack. More Tiger Padel content coming soon.
