Correct 9 common kick smash mistakes to improve your Padel game.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How can I improve my kick smash to consistently get the ball out of the court?
By avoiding common mistakes such as hitting the ball flat, having an open stance, using a forehand grip, hitting the ball too high or too forward, and not using enough wrist action or racket drop. Focus on hitting with topspin, using a continental or backhand grip, maintaining a 90/90 elbow position, hitting the ball slightly behind you and lower, and ensuring a proper racket drop to maximize spin and power for an effective kick smash.
