Your #1 Takeaway
How can I add kick and spin to my padel smash?
Using a "frying pan" grip and focusing on wrist pronation after contact helps impart spin to make the ball jump off the glass or court.
What Your Guru Thinks
The coach provides a really helpful analogy for developing more kick on your smash. Understanding the relationship between the grip and wrist action they describe can significantly boost the effectiveness of this shot. It highlights how a loose wrist and proper alignment work together to get the ball to jump off the glass. This is a valuable adjustment for players looking to refine their overhead game.
With this small adjustment you will get more kick and jump in your smash!
