Choosing the right overhead padel shot based on seven key factors.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - When should I use different overhead shots in Padel?
You should choose your overhead shot based on seven factors: your court position, your partner's position, your opponents' position, your skills, your opponents' skills, the circumstances (indoor/outdoor, weather, altitude), the incoming ball, and your body type. Each factor influences the optimal overhead shot choice, whether it's a bandeja, vibora, smash, gancho, or a variation like kick smash or fake smash, to maximize your chances of winning the point.

What Your Guru Thinks

This lesson is really insightful if you are looking to master overhead shots. Sven breaks down exactly when to use each type of overhead, which takes your shot selection to the next level. Understanding these factors can seriously improve your decision-making during points and make you a more strategic player. You'll get a clear overview of bandeja, vibora, smash variations and more, and when each one becomes the optimal choice.
