Learn the importance and correct technique of the split step.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How important is the split step in Padel and how should I perform it correctly?
The split step is crucial for resetting your body after every shot, ensuring you are ready to react to the next ball. Perform a small hop or jump, landing balanced, and for faster movement, ensure your body weight is balanced or slightly back, not forward on your nose/forehead.

What Your Guru Thinks

This is a really helpful explanation about the split step. The coach highlights why it's so important after every shot to reset your body and be ready for the next ball. Understanding where your body weight should be is a key takeaway for being able to react quickly. It offers practical advice you can easily start applying on court.
