I'm agree, make practise in those simple steps allov you tu hit the ball without mental process , in a automatic inconscius way. This is what high level athletes do. Thank you.
Great topic Sandy! In my opinion, the grip is something quite overlooked in padel. Coaches would normally teach every player (beginner or intermediate, male or female) to use continental 100% of the time, and I get why. But in my case, being able to slightly change the grip has been the great enabler for improving my defense and also my bandejas from the back of the court and my smash. But it does require some brain bandwidth and precious fractions of a second, hence, many times it's better to just "work around" the continental grip (usually, by exerting more force or more swing). But I do like the idea of developing a good "connection" with the racket, an "appreciation" of how different things can be achieved just by slightly changing the grip. A little story: I met a coach in Spain last year who told me he didn't change his grip anymore, because the game was too fast. But then again, his style was being very aggressive, stuck to the net, and relying on a younger, lefty, partner to cover for him at the back of the court. So no wonder he couldn't be bothered with changing the grip! Cheers
Interesting discussion point - I have seen some amazing Argentinian players (who would do well on the WPT if they played it) and their technique is far from perfect, with extreme grips. So while it might not apply 100% of the time, but keeping the continental grip and keeping it simple will really help, particularly while learning...those are my thoughts.
Jesus this video is top tier Thank you very much 🙌🏽
Glad it helped
Nice Video Sandy and a important topic. It looks like a great Place to be.Tennis and padelcourts. Vamos
Thanks Joacim!!!
Thank u for this vid Sandy! Can you do a review on new babolat rackets (especially veron air)
I really enjoyed this video. I think I still switch my grip slightly when I go for a smash, but practicing only bandejas for a week REALLY helped solidify the hammer grip. I find that my backhand grip wants to shift slightly, as I hit a slice backhand for tennis, so still working on this. Thanks Sandy!
Slight shifts are manageable :)
Great advice on the grip. I have a wobbly racket whenever I don't hit the ball exactly in the middle of the racket. Then I saw this video explaining to grip right before contact, which I never do. My grip is ALWAYS lose and very relaxed even upon contact. Time to work on this :)
Glad it helped!
Sandy, great video. But I'm curious what you have to say about the handle diameter, grip tape, etc. Any rule of thumb to ensure the handle is properly sized? My racket currently feels small and I want to add grips.
Hi Sandy, how high do you hold your racket on the grip? Like, is your hand grasping the lower end of the grip or more towards the top end of the grip?
The heel of your hand is in line with the bottom end of the grip...roughly speaking
Great video but what I cant find anywhere. Is how your actual fingers line up. Like you show how to move your handpalm down. It doesnt show how low your fingers are, like Im really curious how low people have there pinky finger. Just like im curious between the space between your finger's to your handpalm.
Mainly curious because I just got the costum nox grip and having a lot of trouble lining them up properly. My pinky seems higher then most people. Yet if i put it lower it feels like I lose grip and my racket aint stable.
Yes it shouldn't be too low with the pinky finger off the racket. It's a lot about personal preference!
Sandy I have a problem, that I don't know if there is some trick to solve it or something helpful. I recently started to play tournaments and I feel really stress and nervious so I can't play like I usually do. Maybe is just me, and there's nothing to do, but I want to ask anyways.
Thanks and I really like your videos 🥎✨

Get your partner to lie to you - not kidding! At least to me, having a partner supporting most shots (unless ur trying to hit LeBron-smashes on 80% of the shots, then u have bigger problems) helps me personally a big deal, and Im always doing the same to my partner. Getting or giving a "The next one will be in" or "just keep at it, itll work!" can sometime make or break it to me. Having a partner sigh after one bad hit makes all confidence go down the drain and with that all shots become 50% as good as they could've been.It may not be for everyone but :)
@@kimball4699 thanks Kimball, I apreciate your advice ✌️
Really interesting topic and @kimball brings up a great point - how is your partnership? Is that a cause of the stress? Or potentially something that could help you out of it?
@@ThePadelSchool it doesn't matter I guess, at least to me. It's something more personal. It's awkard but I play better when it's all against me (when my rival plays very good, I can do my best game). But then when it's more "balanced" I feel pressure, I don't do a good match, I end with a sour taste and disappointed cause I know I didn't play as I usually do.
I'm confused. Is this not the eastern grip? Could you describe a bit more?
Looks a bit wet out there. Are you in the UK now?
Haha yep, umbrella at the ready!
When was the last time they cleaned that glass? 😂
I suppose
it is just early morning moisture
Yep, dew in the morning...
