Refining the padel smash for higher levels.

🏆 #1 Takeaway - How can I improve my padel smash to be a winner at higher levels?
Focus on using a continental grip for flat power, hitting the ball well in front of your body, moving your feet backwards to get in position, aiming for a bounce high on the back glass (2-3m+) for a winner, and making good decisions on when to smash vs. use other overheads like the vibora.

What Your Guru Thinks

This is a great look at how to improve your smash, a crucial shot as you get better at padel. Coach Mauri breaks down key technical points like grip and contact, and also stresses the importance of footwork to get into the right position. He gives valuable insights into knowing when the smash will be a winner based on the bounce, and when you should choose a different overhead shot instead. It's really helpful for understanding what separates a good smash from a great one.
