Mastering the foundational continental grip for Padel.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - What is the correct grip in Padel and how do I use it?
The standard grip is the continental grip; use your non-dominant hand to help adjust it between shots, grip firmly at contact, and practice against a wall to improve consistency.

What Your Guru Thinks

This is a truly essential lesson for anyone starting out in padel. Coach Sandy clearly explains the importance of the continental grip right from the beginning. It covers common mistakes players make, especially those coming from tennis, and provides practical steps like using your non-dominant hand to help with grip changes. Learning the correct grip early on sets a strong foundation for all your shots. And the tip about practicing against a wall is golden for building confidence with the continental grip.
