Understanding when to use slice and topspin for strategic play.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - When should I use slice or topspin in Padel?
Use slice for high balls, volleys, and bandeja to keep the ball low and accelerate after the bounce, especially in defensive situations. Use topspin for slower balls, cross-court defense, and kick smashes to create awkward bounces and pressure, mainly in offensive situations.

What Your Guru Thinks

This lesson is really helpful if you're wondering when to use slice or topspin. Sven clearly explains how to read the ball's speed and height to decide which spin is best. Understanding these nuances can significantly improve your shot selection and overall game strategy. You'll learn how spin affects the ball's bounce and how to use it to your advantage in different situations, both defensively and offensively.
