Guides, technique and padel culture — from our writers.
GearFabrics, fit, sun protection and Tashkent's seasons — what actually helps your game on court, and what just gets in the way.
TechniqueThe dejada is a short, soft, almost spin-free shot that kills the ball's speed instead of adding to it. We break down the grip, technique and when to play it.
CourtsArtificial turf, sand infill, drainage and carpet age — what a padel court is actually made of, and why the same surface plays differently from club to club.
Padel cultureMixed doubles isn't a compromise — it's its own tactic: split roles by strength, not gender, avoid the mistakes that sink pairs, and find a partner.
For beginnersWhat to bring, how to choose between a group and private lesson, and the mistakes almost every beginner makes at their very first padel lesson in Tashkent.
