Mastering the Padel Smash x4: grip, position, and tactics.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How can I effectively execute the Padel Smash x4?
Execute the Smash x4 by mastering the continental grip, positioning yourself about one meter from the net, anticipating opponent's weak returns, and focusing on flat contact with wrist and elbow movement.

What Your Guru Thinks

Dani, the coach, shares excellent insights on the Smash x4, a powerful offensive shot. He breaks down the grip, position, technique, and tactics, emphasizing when to apply it effectively. You'll find his advice on building defensive consistency and court anticipation particularly valuable for setting up this winner. The focus on a consistent grip across all shots, as taught by Gonzalo, is a practical tip for improving your overall game.
