Key to a BIG SMASH in Less Than 3 Minutes!!

Know the best time to go FULL POWER with your smash?? kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZC0qICvgZd8Z6M

[@alexxela754]

So true. When I play lower rated matches I tend to relaxe more and not smash “to hard” but then get better smashes.

[@mingi1489]

yeah technique is more important. Like popping it out of the court doesn't require a lot of power. That's why I stopped doing too many hard hits and focus more on my techniques before adding more power

[@Andrei-Alexandru-Szilagyi]

I dont if it’s a good thing or not, but what helped me to get loose when smashing, was in fact the elbow movement. Now i’m trying to start the movement thinking that the elbow comes first, than the forearm and wrist. This made my smash better but i also feel a tension on my shoulder

[@diogobermejosilva8596]

Thanks a lot for this tip! I was trying to smash exactly how you described it: with a lot of tension in my arm muscles. Can't wait to try out this approach in my next match!

[@ThePadelSchool]

Let us know how you get on!!

I have been waiting for this, thank you

[@ThePadelSchool]

you're welcome! hope it helps your game 👊

Thank you for the video Sandy! Just a question, how can you balance the relaxation of the arm with a firm grip? I feel like I can either have a strong grip and a rigid arm, or a loose grip with a relaxed arm

[@ThePadelSchool]

Love this question! It’s about controlling the difference parts of the body. You have a loose grip until you start the swing phase - timing that squeeze. But it’s a bit like - how can you have fast intense footwork but then have soft hands when hitting a chiquita for example…practice! 💪

Ever going to do videos for more intermediate players? Very much waiting for that.💪

[@ThePadelSchool]

What topic/shot/tactic would you like? Almost certain we will have done that for intermediate players aswell…

[@oscarlagatta]

Thank you so much; is the type of racket an important factor ?

[@ThePadelSchool]

yes it can make a difference. check out this video: pulse.ly/wjbiqlynn0

[@Heibergg]

I am one of the weakest players in my club, but one of the best smashers - it’s all technique 😊 10x 1hour smash practice with ball machine and you don’t have to practice that ever again 😂

[@sp3c0ps]

I think lebron is one of the worst smashers tbh, since i watch padel games. i rarly see this man smash balls out or back over the net compared to people like galan, coelo, tapia en navaro.

[@Andrei-Alexandru-Szilagyi]

That’s after the injury. Before that he was one of the best
