The last point really hits home - I've noticed increasingly that I recognize the right shot to go for but sometimes hesitate at execution especially if its a pressure moment or I have missed a couple easy ones before

[@ThePadelSchool]

That hesitation is common and a problem! Takes practice committing to the shot!

Great video, only why nothing about the back hand smash at the right side?

[@abdorahmanmamlook3684]

I've had to watch this video more than once and i'm still not sure if i know all of my options. I tried to summarize it, maybe you can correct the below? If the lob is on your open side, depending on the depth of the lob my options are: flat, vibora, bandeja of bajada. If the lob is on my closed side, depending on the depth of the lob my options are: gancho, topspin to the side glass or kicksmash por las tres. What am I missing still?

[@ThePadelSchool]

That sounds like a good summary - the height and depth of the lob might open or close those options. For example a high lob from closed side there may be time to move around it or to the open side you might have time to come under it and play a topspin…but as a general rule you’re right.

Maybe it's the Tennis Player in me, but I found a bit odd you didn't talk about hitting with the backhand. Sort of a Bandeja hit with the backhand. Are you against it?.... BTW, fantastic touch putting colors on the court (very helpful). Keep it up! 😀

[@ThePadelSchool]

It’s almost a last resort to play a high backhand volley. If you can hit a ‘Gancho’ that’s a much better option…the backhand smash in padel is very different to tennis.

[@tejaksz]

On what basis would you decide if the ball is good for both vibora and a flat smash? I tend to use vibora and don't really know when would be a smash more beneficiak? Thanks

[@ThePadelSchool]

depends on where your opponents are. if the ball is more to your right side, vibora is good option. if ball is slower and easier to hit, then flat smash is good but it is about where your opponents are.

[@tejaksz]

thanks@@ThePadelSchool
