Tips to improve Padel smash power and speed

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How can I increase the speed and power of my Padel smash?
Increase smash speed and power by focusing on proper technique, including using a continental grip, rotating your body, optimizing arm position (90/90 rule), utilizing the kinetic chain from the ground up (especially hip rotation), achieving a high contact point, and potentially incorporating a timed jump. Racket choice and hitting the ball deeper can also help.

What Your Guru Thinks

This explanation from Sven is very insightful if you are looking to put more pace on your smash. He makes it clear that focusing on technique and the kinetic chain is far more effective than just trying to hit harder. He covers several specific points, like the correct grip, body rotation, and using your hips, that you can practice to unlock more power in your stroke. His advice on relaxation and even equipment can also make a difference in your game.
