Key tips to strengthen your padel backhand technique.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How can I improve my padel backhand technique and power?
Improve your backhand by using a Continental grip, preparing early and low, utilizing your non-dominant hand for tension, maintaining a long follow-through driven by the shoulder, and hitting the ball slightly lower to engage your body's weight transfer.

What Your Guru Thinks

The coach provides excellent advice for improving your backhand, which is often a weaker shot for many players. They cover crucial fundamentals like the correct grip and preparation, explaining why these are so important. You'll also learn how to effectively use your non-dominant hand and ensure a proper follow-through. This guidance is really helpful for making your backhand a reliable asset instead of a target for opponents.
