Correcting common flat padel smash technical mistakes.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - What are common technical mistakes to avoid when hitting a flat padel smash?
Avoid dropping your elbow, not dropping the racket, not turning sideways, not using your non-dominant hand for timing, overturning or losing balance, not moving to get behind the ball, using a forehand grip, not having a proper follow-through, looking away too early, hitting too far right, and locking your wrist.

What Your Guru Thinks

This covers many common errors players make when trying to hit a powerful flat smash. Coach Sven breaks down technical points like arm position, grip, balance, and follow-through. Paying attention to these details can really help you generate more power and avoid injuries. It's insightful for anyone looking to improve this key attacking shot.
