Mastering the Chiquita shot for strategic advantage

🏆 Your #1 Takeaway

How can I effectively use the Chiquita shot in Padel?

Use the Chiquita (a soft, low shot from the back of the court) to force opponents at the net to play up, giving you and your partner time to transition forward and take the net for an attacking position.

What Your Guru Thinks

This content delves into the strategic Chiquita shot, a crucial tool for high-level play. The coach explains exactly what it is, why it's essential for controlling the net, and when to use it effectively. It's particularly useful if you're facing opponents who dominate with overheads and want to add more variety than just lobs. Just remember the coach's warning that it's not easy and requires practice.
