Mastering the flat smash technique and timing for winners.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How can I hit an effective flat smash that returns to my side?
Hit the ball high and flat, slightly in front of you, aiming straight down the line, using your non-hitting arm as a guide for timing, and only attempt it on easy balls when you are balanced.

What Your Guru Thinks

This lesson is excellent if you want to add a powerful winning shot to your game. Coach Ewan breaks down the flat smash, explaining why it's so effective at the professional level. He covers the essential technique, focusing on contact point and hitting the ball flat. Understanding the right time to use this shot, as the coach shows with match analysis, is just as important as the technique itself.
