Master two kick smash variations for effective court exits.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How should I choose the right kick smash for different situations?
Choose between a kick smash bouncing close to the glass for when you are further back on the court, and a kick smash with a shorter bounce for when you are closer to the net. Adapt based on your court position, and crucially, your opponent's tendencies to block or exit the court.

What Your Guru Thinks

This is insightful if you're looking to refine your smash technique. Sven breaks down two key types of kick smashes and explains when to use each one depending on your court position and your opponent. Understanding these nuances can significantly improve your overhead game and make your smashes more effective at forcing errors or winning points outright. Pay close attention to Sven's advice on contact point and adapting to your opponent's play.
