Comfortable racket grip and defensive/offensive racket positioning.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - What is the ideal way to hold a padel racket?
Hold the racket in a way that feels comfortable to you, as Padel typically requires playing many shots with a single grip, and coaches should assess your natural grip first.

What Your Guru Thinks

This content provides a practical perspective on how to hold your racket, suggesting comfort should guide your choice rather than strict adherence to traditional grips. The coach encourages you to trust what feels natural and work with it first. It also offers clear, simple advice on adjusting your racket position based on whether you are defending or attacking. This pragmatic approach can be quite freeing, especially if you're feeling pressured to adopt a specific grip that doesn't feel right.
