thanks sandy! btw i think the dialogue dynamic where you’re speaking with a student is more engaging than the direct at the camera perspective. great job!
Amazing explanation on the vibora variations and how racket speed and power are key and two very different things. One thing I do, and I don't think you mentioned, is I change the grip to a similar one of the top smash since it open the face of the racket and allows me to brush the ball more at the sacrifice of some power. Keep it up! To 50K!
Yes Joe, that is another good tip and can help the brush. This player was already doing that slightly so I didn't bring it up, but good point! One day 50K I hope haha
This Nikhil Mohindra is a force of nature. A total pádel beast. I’ve played vs him a few times and I can assure to the whole of RUclips that he will be #1 Uk soon. Currently he is still a bit of a 🍬🍭🍰, but he is improving really fast. Go Mohi Go!!!
Another great video! Waiting for the TBVS (Technical Breakdown Vibora Shot). The super slow motion breakdown would be very welcome ;) Thanks for the content
Ok, so I have another question for you (or maybe a video idea?). Recently me and my partner started playing against his dad and his friends who are well-seasoned tennis players. My level is getting pretty good and I thought it wouldn't be too difficult to win against some tennis players (who have a very tennis-like playing style). When they give me a fast topspin ball I just let it bounce against the back glass and I can play it back after the wall bounce. At net I take a step more to the back, so I have a little bit more time to react to their fast shots. It works pretty well, so I'm happy about that. There is however one (quite important) shot that is very difficult for me to consistently defend against: their serve. They have a very fast topspin serve that is actually very consistent. I would say about one out of three first serves isn't good. The longer the game went on, the better me and my partner returned the serves; we either let them bounce twice in the corner against the glass or play them back before it hit the glass, but it was still very difficult to consistently play a good shot against. It's very frustrating, because we would win a lot more points if it wasn't for that serve. Do you have any more tips we could use?Thanks a lot.
Good question Victor, this is something I sometimes do for fun if I'm playing with friends is hit alot of topspin on the serve into the side glass, because they struggle with that rebound. But a player at my level would just wait for it to rebound off the 2nd glass (probably turning) and play that shot comfortably. Because the faster the shot and the more topspin means the ball is in the air longer. It is still not easy to deal with, but once practiced the returner knows what to do. You are right, either block before the glass or allow the rebound to bring the ball out...
Can you make a video on the best technique for a smash. When I watch the pros they kinda twist their racket before impact compared to me when i just swing it flat. Not sure I explained it to well but if you understand I’d love a reply. Good video and keep on going Sammy!
@@ThePadelSchool I’d love to se the topspin smash and the best technique for getting the ball out of the court, I can do it but I never seem to get consistent results.
@@ShortsUnleash that's like hitting a kick serve in tennis, same technique.. look for remate por 3 in spanish and you'll see tons of info since getting the ball out of the court "por 3" (aka the side fence) is what we all want to learn lol, I'm sure this channel also has vids of those!
Unfortunately I work at a private club in Dubai - but I am going to start an in-depth online coaching course, working directly with players. Send me an email if you would like to know more info: sandy@thepadelschool.com
@@ThePadelSchool let’s assume you play parallel, then the contact point is slightly behind the head. I thought otherwise until I trained with Spaniards. For the bandeja, in front. Since I changed my technique it works better for me now
Thanks Sandy... nice video with good explinatoin.. your English is perfect... the English from Sven its beter than yours 😂 i am joking ... not to serios on your video... make some jokes ...life is beautyful 🌞 anyway i hoop soon to take les also from you ... from Sven I take already les... he explain also good... just like you... keep the goed work and the smile on your face❤️
thanks sandy! btw i think the dialogue dynamic where you’re speaking with a student is more engaging than the direct at the camera perspective. great job!
Thanks, agreed! Wish I could do it with more students! :)
@@ThePadelSchool tell them not to be shy!! :-D
Yup! Great question to make him more motivated!
Id like to see more of these kinds of videos. They are really helpful seeing the error on repeat in order to see the different results
Fantastic explanation and visualization of the 2 types of vibora here, really insightful! Vamos! 👍
Thanks Niklas, really happy it helps and hope to see it in the next match analysis ;)

Glad to hear it! Thanks for the support
I love this court the most. so sunny and open! lets go!
Me too! My favorite court location!

Nice Video, Nice Vibora tips and lovely weather. Vamos Sandy
Thanks Joacim! Making the most before it becomes too hot!!

Haha he is indeed! A champion in the making!
Just learned Vibora from my coach, and still confused.. this video helps me a lot. THX!
Can take a bit of time getting it right! Good luck!
Great movie!! I’m from tennis so I sometimes try to hit too hard.. yes,pace down 😉
I really like this series, I've seen all your videos already, and so this slightly higher level player example is great to learn from
Glad it is useful! Would love to make more of these with students!!
Great channel! Can you make some videos about padel singles and strategy, positioning and movement?
Another great video!

Hey Nuno, do you mean this one: ruclips.net/video/PihyQF3EnHk/видео.html
@@ThePadelSchool missed this one 😅
Really good, great stuff on the details. Also, I'm addicted to the way you say "glass". 😅
Haha thank you, I've been practicing that word for a while...glad it has paid off! ha

nice vid man. i always do the low option intuitively at 1:32.
Thanks with your feedback, keep it up!

Do you mean a topspin smash? They use alot of wrist on that shot to hit topspin. There are different types of smashes, which one did you mean?

Haha similar body shape! ha - thanks!
Nice
Thanks!
@@ThePadelSchool you're welcome 😉👍
Do you live there?! Looks really nice!
Yes, I live near here and it is a lovely court location!
What a court
Love it!!
Take a step back so contactpoint is infront of you - saved you 7 minutes. Still love Sandy
Haha - wouldn't it be nice if I could just say a few words and students instantly understood and were able to do it!
@@ThePadelSchool The perfect world ^^
Contact for víbora is behind, not in front, unlike the bandeja.
Not necessarily. Depends where the ball is coming from and where you’re hitting to.
@@ThePadelSchool let’s assume you play parallel, then the contact point is slightly behind the head. I thought otherwise until I trained with Spaniards. For the bandeja, in front.
Since I changed my technique it works better for me now
@@vincentsennhauser361 yes, more common to play cross court on a Vibora. But there are times when you play slightly behind.
