Tbh. Most people who dont hold continental develop extremely bad habits that are almost impossible to fix. While continental is hard and might feel uncomfortable it is the standard for a reason and its easier to build upon.
If you teach beginners, I highly recommend Continental. I shift to eastern backhand for kick and vibora at times, and use my own grip for serve at times, but new players should learn how to walk before they run. Yes there are a few pros that have "different" grips, but in general there is a proper basic technique for holding a padel racket. In this case I do not Agree with Gabo.
If someone is uncomfortable with Continental, ok. But as you develop a "strange" grip it can lead to less development as you progress. Seen it in 3 racketsports and drumming. There is not ONE WAY, but some ways are just not ok holds for progress to higher level. In my book.
Very first time I disagree. I mean, of course, someone can develop his skills with different grip, but usually such a person knows what he/she wants to train. Secondly, a trainer must be very experienced (e.g. like you) to be able to improve skills of a person that uses improper/unusual grip and in countries where padel is growing there are not many high quality trainers. Anyway, most of the times people using different grip are beginners, so IMHO correction is necessary. Greets!
I feel the same. I love your content but why so salty with this one? I have seen many people with problems hitting slice or other shots. Oftentimes their problems is rooted in a wrong grip. Thus for me, it’s a very important step as a trainer to check for the grip. Doesn’t mean I have to force everyone to 100% continental, but if have to check and maybe correct. Cheers to you anyway snd looking forward to your next video.
