Sos un crack, Sandy. Mejoro mucho con tus consejos( come from tennis too)

[@ThePadelSchool]

Glad you're enjoying the videos José!

[@julia3061]

So cool you recently came to Sweden. Hope you will come to Stockholm or Örebro next time. You are so welcome over here! 😍🌟🎾

[@ThePadelSchool]

I am sure I will come to Stockholm/Orebro soon! I really enjoy the padel community in Sweden!

[@joacimkindstrom2478]

Once again a great video Sandy! Keep on . Vamos

[@ThePadelSchool]

Thank you! Will do!

Great content as usual Sandy. I've got a question, but it's not relevant to this video. It's about your video about kicksmashes and smashes in general. Where does the power come from - is it mainly in the wrist and hips, and having a pretty loose arm? I have a tendensy to feel a bit stiff when smashing and sometimes it hurts in my shoulder after, which makes it impossible for me to get enough power to get it out of the court. What's your tips here?

[@ThePadelSchool]

The power for the kicksmash is usually less important than getting the right contact and spin (and accuracy on the bounce). You want to try to keep a loose arm, but it is very difficult for me to say without seeing your technique...send me a small clip on instagram and I'll take a look.

Good content as always!

Glad you enjoyed it

Great video! Excellent pros examples to help us understand the points you are making better. Coming from a racket background, picking padel was easy as first. When I started playing with more advance padel players, I understood my mistakes and the weakness in my padel game. Definitively playing against stronger players helped me a lot.

[@ThePadelSchool]

Fastest way to improve is against the stronger players...

[@alexxeken]

What are you doing in sweden? :)

[@7echnoid]

Was thinking the same thing... in tiny Bjuv of all places as well! :)

[@ThePadelSchool]

I went for Malmo WPT and to visit Helsingborg...Bjuv seemed a nice stop for the videos :)

[@sebulbathx]

Thanks great advice! Will for sure have these tips in mind next time I play. Btw are you in Sweden now? I am just curious because I saw some banners in the background with swedish text. :)

[@zitexh]

Maybe it was filmed during WPT Malmö, and just released now.

[@sebulbathx]

@@zitexh Aha ok if so that makes sense.👍

[@ThePadelSchool]

Yes, I filmed a few videos while I was there for Malmo!

[@sebulbathx]

@@ThePadelSchool Ah cool thanks for the answer. 👍

[@MMM18092]

In best of 3 set match, beating a pair that is one notch above in level is really hard. In my experience the only thing that works is to take more chances and play with slimmer margins and hope that you have a good day and a bit of luck. Could of course backfire and you lose even quicker than you would have otherwise...

[@ThePadelSchool]

One notch above in terms of padel experience is tough! But if they are tennis players with less padel you could cover that gap if you play sensibly...

[@MMM18092]

@@ThePadelSchool Unfortunately (?) I am the tennis player on the court. Works up until a certain level...

[@eliashallsten6661]

I heard that you played with my friend Claudio, how was it?

[@ThePadelSchool]

Yes, in Malmo. It was good. I was a bit rusty, but it was ok :)

[@martinduggan4077]

hi sandy played a few games this week we are all average players but the longest rally for 90 mins must of been 4 shots . it was a boring game any suggestions should I play better players we played outside and it was quite cold we did 20.30 till 22.00

[@MMM18092]

Not sure you need to play better players, you need to play different players.

[@martinduggan4077]

@@MMM18092 thank u

[@ThePadelSchool]

If the group feel the same then you could always add a condition like you need to have a rally of at least 5 before the point is open - or everyone has to touch the ball before it is live...?!

[@martinduggan4077]
