Correcting slice technique and when to use it.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How can I hit an effective slice shot in Padel?
Focus on tilting the racket face and using a compact stroke, unlike a long tennis swing, to keep the ball low and make it difficult for opponents off the glass.

What Your Guru Thinks

This is a really useful breakdown if you've been told that slicing makes the ball pop up. The coach strongly disagrees with that idea and explains why, showing how to adjust your technique from a tennis background. They emphasize keeping your stroke compact and tilting the racket, showing how effective the slice can be, especially for shots like the chiquita. It's a great perspective on incorporating this important shot into your game.
