What Your Guru Thinks

This analysis by coach Dani Hoyo is quite insightful. He explains how using your non-dominant arm, something often overlooked, is fundamental to improving your padel. It's not just about hitting the ball, but about balance, preparation, and generating power effectively. Dani shows how this simple concept applies to different situations like the ready position, backhands, volleys, and overheads. Mastering this basic element can make a big difference in your overall game organization.

I apologize for having such low energy in these last videos.

I've been working a lot, and my mind is asking me to take
a few days off to recharge.

While you're watching this video, I'm most likely in Spain
on vacation, walking the Camino de Santiago and preparing
lots of super fun things for next year.

I love you all so much.
