Why am I even watching this? Half my overhead smashes hit the glass more than 1 meter over the floor, and the other half I hit the ball with the shaft/handle of my racket and the ball goes to a random location in the padel centre. At least it feels that way.
Amen. Hence I hardly hit overheads and prefer to Bandeja / volley them. It's a shame though and I would need to practice, but it's 'hard' for me to try when your in a game, would be best to do 20 balls before the match to get a feel for it.
I've watched a lot of padel videos and I love to watch them. But I still have no clue how to brush a ball with these smashes. Could you make a video with more visuals or examples what to do on how to accomplish this spin. It seems so weird to hit al ball with high power but also add spin 😅. Thanks in advance.
I feel that I’m a bit comfortable with the power smash. I can have the ball rebounding from zone B, but zone C needs a lot of training and technique. Be careful with your shoulders when working on the power smash, as it is an intense shoulder workout.
I am not comfortable with the power smash - or any volley for that matter.. granted I am still new (started playing about 4 months ago once or twice a week) but I am still having trouble contacting the ball at the right place on the volley. It would be great if you guys can make a video to help beginners improve the hand-eye coordination and ball contact faster.
In my experience very very few club level players in Denmark can consistently bring the ball back high over the net from beyond the second post. I'm known to have a decent smash and while I CAN bring it back over the net when standing between the second and third post, it is NOT consistent (will fail often) and the ball won't have much height on it, so if the defending player can get to the net fast enough, then I am toast.
