Practicing these can help you get that desired bounce over the fence or back onto your side. It's really useful if you're looking to add a more effective kick to your overheads.
Description
Hola everybody! Welcome back to the weekly padeltips monday video!
Today we focus on the kicksmash! If you haven't seen yesterdays WPT final you should watch it right now. You will see that the smash is a really important part of the game. If you have a good smash, your opponent is forced to play low balls and will be scared to play a lob! That means that you will hold the net position way longer!
LETS GET 15 LIKES THIS VIDEO! KICKSMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON
We will show 7 different drills that can help you to improve your smash, along with some general tips.
The goal of the drills are to help you feel, see, hear or understand the smash better. As some of you may know, we like to go in extreme a bit. We will force you to play in one specific way to let you experience the difference. That doesn't mean that you actually have to play the smash that way. We hope you can get that switch activated during the drill to get that: "OOOOH Now I got it" feeling.
"You learn from something that is different = Not from something that is the same"
Please find a way that the smash feels natural for you! If it doesn't feel that way, let us know 🙂
Thank you for watching and we will see you next week.
Special thanks to Louie Harris to showcase his expensive racket breaking smash skills.
