Locked shoulders method for consistent shot preparation
Key takeaway from our Guru
How can I improve my consistency and preparation in padel?
Prepare your racket early and keep your shoulders locked in a stable position. By holding your racket close to your body and waiting for the ball in a neutral stance, you can adjust your shot at the last second and keep your opponents guessing.
What this lesson covers
The locking the shoulders method focuses on early and adjustable preparation to improve consistency across all shots. By preparing the racket before the ball bounces on your side of the court, you avoid late adjustments and maintain control. Keep the racket close to your body and at an appropriate height for the incoming ball. This allows you to choose between different shots, such as a lob or a drive, from the same initial position, making your play less predictable to opponents.
For volleys and groundstrokes, keep the left hand active and stable to create a strong core. On the forehand, prepare lower than the knee and finish with a forward, pushing motion rather than a high follow-through. When executing a vibora, move your right foot back first to create space and maintain shoulder rotation. Hitting on top of the ball instead of underneath helps keep the shot low and forces opponents to defend at their feet. This approach emphasizes soft, controlled contact over raw power, allowing for better placement and fewer unforced errors.
