The game might pause when you step off the court, but the experience continues at the AP Padel clubhouse. 🎾

After an intense match or practice session, players can refuel with a variety of menu options. The clubhouse serves favourites like burgers, toasted sandwiches, and assorted pies, perfect for recharging after a competitive rally.

It is also a relaxed space where players can catch up, talk through match highlights, and enjoy the social side of the sport.

From great games to good food, the clubhouse is part of what makes time at AP Padel more than just a match on the court.

The “Stupa” Single-Arm Isolation, inspired by Franco Stupaczuk, is a targeted drill to fix lazy volleys and strengthen core stability.

To do it, practice a full set of forehand volleys while keeping your non-dominant arm tucked strictly behind your back.

This removes the usual off-arm counterweight that players use for balance, forcing your obliques and legs to stabilize the torso.

The result is a more compact, controlled volley with cleaner technique. Add this drill to your padel training to see noticeable improvements in power and precision.

Unlike tennis or squash, the wrist strap on a padel racket is a legal requirement under International Padel Federation (FIP) rules.

Padel rackets are solid, made of EVA foam and carbon fibre, and can weigh up to 375g. A racket flying from an unsecured hand during a smash could seriously injure another player.

In professional matches, failing to keep the strap around the wrist results in an immediate loss of the point.

Safety comes first, always keep your strap secured before every point.
