Short backswing for cleaner, controlled strokes

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How can I improve my stroke control and consistency?
Improve stroke control and consistency by focusing on a short backswing, feeling like you are stopping the ball upon contact, and using your forearm for stability, especially when defending from the back of the court.

What Your Guru Thinks

This lesson offers a simple yet powerful tip for improving your fundamental strokes. The coach emphasizes using a short backswing which can significantly help with hitting the ball cleanly and consistently. By feeling like you are "stopping" the ball initially, you can achieve better control, especially when defending from the back of the court. It highlights the importance of solid contact using the forearm rather than the wrist for most shots. This approach is key to handling opponent pace effectively.
