Step-by-step guide to learning the kick smash.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How do I perform a kick smash without tennis experience?
Focus on changing grip to continental or backhand, hitting the ball behind you (on the right side of 12 o'clock), achieving a vertical swing path, maintaining a 90-90 elbow bend preparation, using specific footwork (kicking right foot to sidewall for righty), and aiming near the side wall screws.

What Your Guru Thinks

Sven breaks down the challenging kick smash in a way that's especially helpful if you don't have a tennis background. He covers crucial technical details like grip, contact point, and body movement that are often overlooked. Understanding these fundamentals is key to developing this powerful shot and adding it to your game.
