I already own a Tasty Gold (in black) and love the feeling/sensations. It's tempting to buy another/extra Tasty when I see this video...

She’s so in love ❤️!! She melts when she looks at you! What a treasure 🙏🏻❤️

Looking it slowly, all the shot is in how much you pivot... At that point there is no need to risk to give angle with wrist or arm. Thanks so much for this. Very useful, I'll try today

Find it easier from the right side but not sure why.

I’ve been taught not to slice when defending against people who are at the net as a ball with slice on it is so easy to hit a strong volley off. It’s been super valuable for me to use top spin or flat in those situations.

i love the slice, such a good weapon

Love it! ❤

Love these tips from you and Riikka❤

Nice presentation Riikka, very clear, congratulations. Happy New Year to you and Coach Gabo ❤️

Wrote also on IG but could you elaborate on the rubber of this new racket? Is it a multieva rubber like the top models of Bullpadel and Babolat?

From Portugal: You really need to teach Gabo to play some decent Padel 🤣😂🤣😂. Happy New Year for both of you. I enjoy your videos.

where is tasty? :)

Great tips as usual! And congrats Riikka for the video all on you 😊🎉

How is she able to know what to do with no -willy- & -balls- 😨 Thanks for the advice :D I've really struggled reading the glass on the right side

Cool! Good advice to get the basics right first. 👊🏻😎🎾🎾🎾

seen a lot of service videos. But this one is the best. Thx

A concern to me is from where are you generating the inertia to move the raquet head. If I do shadows, I noticed that moving the raquet from the triceps does not generate enought acceleration. I noticed moving shoulder upwards and letting the raquet flow generates more inertia. Probably also the same applies from the legs. At the end, muy cuestión is, which muscles generates the main inertia motion over the racket head? Shoulders? I suspect this is a key point that no one talks about. Thx for great video!

Ah I was in padel art yesterday but haven't seen you. Are you doing coaching in Dubai these days?😊

So, I tried it today, and for me, something that helped me a lot was an exercise where I put my racket in the pad's racket case, then made a few swings, and when I tried without the case, my movements were much faster, which gave me much more effect.

Haha I did it today thanks to you!

Complete agree that you should focus more on the basics and stop trying to get hard hits until you reach some consistency. I usually play at a good level and as you say I am not winning more than 10 points from my kick smash, but vibora is always important to get spicy with the volleys and ensuring the net position.

About the final words of wisdom. More than anything, the x3 is an intimidation shot that forces opponents to rethink their lobs. Even if you hit 1 or 2 in the match, just the fact that you can is a power move - suddenly people start moving forward sooner or are trying to go out of the court plus don't play as many lobs as before. It breaks their rhythm and can give you the edge. Plus now the fake smash can also be played to win an easy and safe point.

To answer your last question: yes, yes I do 😊

Fantastic video, motivations for trying and practicing the exercises, but the pearl of wisdom at the end is the most precious tip I’ll bring with me on the court

great Video guys, I was struggling with the setup for smash my brush was good my wrist is good but the setup was hold me down and to know how to do it I thinkI get it now THX❤❤

Great video Gabo!!

A fucking month to learn the kick smash? Shit I've just celebrated my anniversary of a year training the kick smash :D And yes I've also been working on groundstrokes, volleys and other overheads so still making progress in other areas :),

I will try it tommorow 💪🏻

So true what you say at the end of the video, thanks god I realized it in time too. Most times I can get away with a fast plain smash, and thats enough threat for the opponents too not to stay too back either. Now I try the x3 sometimes before matches, and I like the excercise too, but i don’t see yet when I will be able to do it right 18-19 out of 20 to do it in matches too. Actually, what percentage do you recommend in selecting the risk of the shots? Select aomething you can do 90%? 95%?

we have super slow courts (sweden) is it better to get it out with power or kick then?

I have been playing to my own grip for 2,5 years. I am doing good, but not as good as i see people around me even with much less time on the court. I discussed with my coach (the best player in my country) and i had difficulty in 3 particular hits, vibora, smash and rulo. the thing is my racket was/is too turned and cannot give the right rotations to the ball, smash to get it out of the court, vibora to stay low after glass etc. The thing is with the grip i have i cannot put this turns, as no matter how i turn my body the racket goes flat to the ball. So i decided to change to continental, in general i cannot play it is so new to me, but when i do the specific hits alone, not in game, it is game changing like magic, everything perfect (to my eyes).

I laughed so hard with the casual swearing. Pure gold 😂

I love the way you are strict and funny at the same time. Great tip though!

Gabo on fire! Like that spicy Gabo!

I really like your style and your clear advice 👌

Subtitulos 😅

if one to stop right after hitting, doesn't it imply one needs to start decelerating even before hitting the ball, which would lead to less spin than with a lengthier movement? or the point here is that even with a shorter movement (which easier to control and quicker to perform) one can have sufficient spin for an effective volley?

I love your compact playing philophy. Many thanks, again :)

👌🏻🤩🎾🎾🎾So clear and good. Thanks 🙏🏻

İf you suddenly stop your arm doesnt this increase the risk of injury like tennis arm?

I'M A BELIEVEEEER! Magic Tasty lesson as always. In my beloved PadelArt private court (countless games there 😅)

Did you think about coming to Spain to teach pádel trainers. Do it please

I see the professional Premier Padel players, especially the ladies, play this shot a lot. I never knew what to call it. Thanks both of you 😘

Thanks

Noce

Great tactic and good practice 👍🏼 Question! What should we prepare after the drop shot is done successfully but not perfectly, and the opponent can catch the drop shot. We should stand closer to the net or we should stay in 2nd pole and be opposite to that opponent or do something else??

Perfectly timed video. I played a game yesterday against two guys who I would say I was slightly stronger in every area apart from this. They were so good at throwing in drop shots that it kept me on my toes (and feeling my lower back) the whole time! 🤣

Awesome content , very helpful. Keep going!❤

Can you lose the subtitles please?

Great tip that this can be used for defence. Becaue when you use it to finish a point, it is only when the opponents have given u an immensely easy ball, so no often (unless you play weak opposition, which is never that much good aside from the ego boost)
