Master wrist movements in padel for powerful and controlled shots.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - When should I use my wrist in padel and why is it important?
Use your wrist in specific situations like smashes, low volleys, and backhand from the back wall to generate power, accelerate the ball in short spaces, and correct shot direction. It is important for adding versatility and solving challenging shots, but should be used selectively to maintain control and avoid unnecessary errors.

What Your Guru Thinks

This is insightful if you are wondering about the role of the wrist in padel. Mauri explains when and why using your wrist is beneficial, especially for generating power in shots like smashes and when dealing with low balls or shots close to the back wall. He highlights that while wrist usage adds power, it should be used selectively to maintain control and improve shot selection, not for every shot. Practicing wrist movements, as the coach suggests, can really enhance your ability to handle tricky situations on the court.

ROLE OF THE WRIST IN PADEL - Most of Padel shots are performed with firm wrists, but there are some others which aren't. It's important to differentiate in which shots our wrists should be firmer or looser, so as to improve our overall performance. Mauri will show us which are those shots and how to use our wrists properly.
