Using non-dominant hand improves movement and recovery.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - What is the importance of using your non-dominant hand in Padel?
Using your non-dominant hand (the "racket holder") helps with balance, quicker preparation before hitting the ball, and faster recovery to a ready position after the shot, leading to improved overall court movement and efficiency.

What Your Guru Thinks

This is a really interesting point the coach makes about the "racket holder". Being aware of how you use your non-dominant hand isn't something players often think about consciously. It seems like such a simple thing, but the coach explains how it's fundamental for balance, faster preparation, and quicker recovery after hitting the ball. Mastering this seemingly minor detail can make a significant difference in your overall court movement and readiness for the next shot. It's about building a solid foundation for everything you do on the court.

This technical mistake would lead to a knock out. Fix it with the racket holder.
