This exercise is the sixth and final progression in learning the technique of the power smash in padel. After working separately on the different stages of the movement and positioning under the ball, the player now puts all these elements into practice on lobs fed by the coach.
The objective is to recognise a short ball, move quickly forwards and hit a powerful smash at the highest possible contact point.
This final progression brings together reading the ball’s trajectory, movement, positioning under the ball and the complete smash technique in a game-like situation.
