Moving Indoors: What Changes When Autumn Arrives

Faster courts, different bounce, and how to adapt.

Indoor padel in autumn plays differently. Here is what to expect.

No Wind, No Excuses

Your lobs will land where you aim them. That cuts both ways.

A Livelier Bounce

Warm indoor air and dry glass make the ball sit up. Take it earlier.

Lighting and Lobs

Look for the ball against the roof, not the lights. Move your feet early so you are never smashing blind.

Grip It Tighter

Indoor courts feel quicker. Shorten your swing and keep the ball in play.
