What Your Guru Thinks

Sandy breaks down the single-handed flat backhand before the glass. It's useful if you struggle with hitting the ball from the mid-court area. The coach shows the technique step-by-step in slow motion. This helps you really see how the shot is executed. You can use this breakdown to refine your own backhand.

Struggle with your Backhand? Padel Technique

Description

Despite being one of the first techniques you learn in padel, it is also one of the more difficult to get right. Particularly if you are trying to hit flat (which you should be practicing!!).

In this technical breakdown the steps for each part of the shot are important to get right, because if you forget one it can often end up affecting the whole shot!

If you are coming from a tennis background and are trying to get this shot right, it will be worth watching to One to One Course, where we work with a student (ex tennis player) to perfect this shot: https://thepadelschool.com/courses/one-to-one-course/
