Your #1 Takeaway
How can I improve my smash technique and decision making in Padel?
To improve your smash, focus on using a continental grip, hitting the ball in front of your body, and ensuring the ball bounces high on the back wall. Additionally, learn to make better decisions on when to use a smash versus other overhead shots like the Vibora based on the ball's position and height.
