Strategic positioning to effectively counterattack your opponent's smash.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How should I position myself and my partner to effectively counterattack a smash?
Position the cross-court player two steps inside the service line and the parallel player at the back. Read the smash early, decide to block or counterattack, communicate with your partner about coverage, and adjust positioning based on smash direction (straight or cross-court).

What Your Guru Thinks

This is a very practical lesson if you want to improve your defense against smashes. The coach explains how to read your opponent's smash and adjust your court positioning accordingly. It's really helpful to understand the different stages of defending a smash and how communication with your partner plays a crucial role in counterattacking effectively.

Welcome back everyone!

Today we are going to focus on defending the smash. I think you can win a lot of points on countering the smash! So many players are trying to finish the point way too early, but we are not training the counter attack much.

Hope this helps! Vamooos
