Brilliant, Sandy, thanks for putting this video up - I’m sure I must be one of those who have requested it! I find that good tennis players coming to padel may lack some of the mobility, anticipation and finesse that comes with experience, but some have a cracking forehand topspin drive which they just blast from the back of their court. They are wide open to any short return or a push toward the side fence…but getting a racket onto their shot is a pain. This bit of advice helps - thanks!
Thanks, Still not sure you addressed how you stop the ball coming off the racket and hitting the back wall. I do the high racket set up as you describe, but really fast balls blocked end up on the glass or low ones in the net often. Ideas?
Might it be a question of the racketface angle in which you are blocking the ball with? Have a look at this video: ruclips.net/video/UrF0dOp6Ij4/видео.html
Taking pace off the ball is difficult and requires practice (and a bit of talent). I recommend soft wrists so your racquet gives way a little bit on impact.
