🏆 #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
