PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How can tennis players adapt their overheads for Padel?
Tennis players should focus on hitting the ball forward with slice or backspin rather than downwards, using a higher contact point, relaxed grip, and proper sideways turn and slower movement to achieve better balance and control for shots like the Bandeja and Vibora, aiming for depth.

What Your Guru Thinks

This is a really helpful lesson if you're finding it tricky to adjust your overheads from tennis to padel. Coaches Sven and German explain the key differences between hitting a powerful tennis smash downwards and using the Padel specific overheads like the Bandeja and Vibora effectively. They give practical advice on preparation, contact, and footwork to keep the ball deep and maintain control. It's great for understanding why your tennis instincts might be working against you in Padel.
