Correct 7 common Vibora mistakes to dominate padel matches.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - What are the most common mistakes to avoid when hitting a Vibora and how can I correct them?
The most common mistakes are playing too fast, having a big swing, hitting the ball too close to the body, tensing the wrist, wrong contact point, no follow-through, and moving the body too much. Correct them by slowing down, shortening the swing, hitting to the side, relaxing the wrist, hitting at 2-3 o'clock, following through, and keeping the body fixed.

7 Common Vibora MISTAKES #PT20

Description

Improve your vibora technique today by recognizing one of these mistakes.

The result of the ball is more important than the technique, the goal of the vibora is to generate sidespin on the ball! With this sidespin effect the ball will rebound very strangely off the wall, making it extra difficult to get the ball back.

If you make one of these 7 mistakes, it will be hard to play a 'good' vibora. The vibora on itself is quite an offensive shot and more difficult than the bandeja, I suggest that you learn to play the bandeja first and than this shot. The bandeja is easier because on of the reasons is that you can play it with a firmer arm. Making it easier to control the ball.

If we get 150 likes I will upload another vibora video!

My vibora technique is just a way to play this shot, it is not the 'leading' technique. A good goal for you is to find a way to put sidespin on the ball and keep the ball low at the same time. If you have any questions about these subject feel free to answer them in the comments below.

Hasta luego, ciao, adios...
