Improve Padel angles using slice instead of roll.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - What is the best way to play angled shots consistently in Padel?
Focus on using a slice technique with a locked wrist and forearm, hitting the outside of the ball from the back of the court with an open racket face to guide the ball.

What Your Guru Thinks

This is a very useful breakdown if you are trying to improve your angled shots. The coach highlights a key difference between tennis and padel technique, advising against the common tennis 'roll'. Focusing on the slice with a locked wrist and forearm can bring much more consistency to your angle game. Practicing this technique from the back will help you control the ball direction and depth effectively.
