Greetings from Paraguay! Thanks for all the lessons you give, i really enjoy your videos and the energy you give them. I moved to the next level thanks to your videos!
Best padel youtuber - hands down! :) I really really appreciate these technincal breakdown videos. Would love to see the same detail in volleys, kicksmash and flat smash!!
I should have known you years ago. My transition from tennis to padel would have been much less traumatic. :) In order to playing flat ... I personally hits a lot of backhand balls, flat, crossed to the fence. It's safer than hitting with top-spin and the ball floats less (making it more accurate). By the way. Impressive video!!! :)
In this video you gave me the answer to a question which I formulated rather clumsily in a comment to another video. The question was about whether it's legal to guide the ball, and around 11 minutes out in this video I get a feeling that the answer is sort of yes - or at least that's how I understand the concept of extending the contact with the ball across as many frames of the fence as possible. In my mind, this is close to the concept of guiding it, but maybe with an important emphasis - namely that the direction of the force applied to the ball is rather constant even though the duration of the contact is prolonged. Sorry for explaining it so complicated, but am I on to something - did I understand your point in this video, or should I watch it again? Thanks!
Thanks, I think I get it. Hitting the ball twice is of course illegal, but as long as the ball has not "left the racket" you're fine. When hitting the ball straight on, it will deform and only leave the racket entirely after having regained its form and started on its new trajectory. Another example which clearly also has to be perfectly legal unless I'm misunderstanding everything completely is if you wanted to apply maximum spin for a drop shot - you want to brush the ball underneath to apply the spin but you want to give it very little velocity so it will fall almost straight to the ground. The racket is going to move faster than the ball. If you were to do this with a painted ball I would imagine that you would see a line across the racket face afterwards. If this line were to be broken, you would have hit the ball twice (or more) - if the line is unbroken, you're fine. Still correct? Bottom line, in any stroke, if you were hitting a painted ball and it only makes one mark or line - however long or whatever shape - the ball must have been hit only once and so the stroke must be good. Yes? Bamo!
In my eyes topspin is a shot that you can can use in max. 10% of a match. It gives the opponent the chance after the high bounce, against the wall, to have more choices of attacking shots, even bajada if it's a straight fast hard topspin. I believe in flat shots. Jouw mening @Sven 🤪
I think you can use topspin when you have to come underneath the ball. If you play crosscourt is doesn’t really matter if the ball rebounds. Bajada should have slice
I would like a video about defending the double glass (side wall first) especially for us Northern Europeans playing in the cold! Dealing with hard smashes or spin with little bounce off the wall. Vamos
Our trainer in spain told us to play more open shots with the legs. Because of recovery of the net or recovery of defending position. Is this correct because for me is more comfortable to play closed shots?
I really do not agree about how you de-emphasise technique for beginners. I think beginners should be taught to play with correct technique right from the start, because if they are not then what they are doing is actually practicing and burning in their muscle memory the wrong ways to hit the ball...
There are a lot of things more important then the technique. Technique is important for those that want to learn the technique. Finding technique the most important is a coaching methodology from 1970 in my opinion.
@@OtroNivelPadel correct technique is a necessary condition to be good at any sport. In Padel technique is less important than tennis because the ball has to travel much less and with less speed than in tennis, but still folks with bad technique will inevitably hit a wall very soon and then they will have to work much harder to correct their technique , because you have let them internalise a wrong one. And often give up at that stage. The point is that technique is always there, and if you do not enforce a proper one then your student will still learn one, by teaching themselves and continuously practicing a bad one. I understand that your students will be initially "happier" it they do not have to bother with paying attention to how they move ad strike the ball, but they have to understand that it is much easier and less painful to learn proper technique from the start than having to correct wrong technique later on... I see this a lot and it makes me cringe.. trainers who just throw ball after ball to the students, make them do a lot of practice so that the students find and internalise "their own way" to do the shots, which unfortunately is a very crooked, inefficient and unpleasant to see way, unless they are natural talents..
As a tennis player I was overhitting my topspin FH, I understand how to do it right in padel with your video ❤
Great to hear! Hope you improve even more 💪🏼

Obrigado! You are amazing!
Thank you Sven, great video. Greetings from Stockholm.
Pues, vamos!

The flat smash will be posted next monday :) The rest will follow soon!

Yes, correct. You cannot hit the ball twice. But you guide the ball forward

Yes correct. You want to carry the ball, as long as you not hit the ball twice.

Have you seen our video: How to defend the corner?
At 1:55 you're saying to play cross or to the middle. Why is that? Thanks in advance!
Otherwise the ball comes back of the wall too much
Amazing tips thank you for this
Thank you so much!
Chegou na hora certa, tenho tentado implementar o topspin. Grato pela legenda em Português

It depends on your technique. You can play open
Good video
Thank you! For the quick response!
Thanks for your videos! "VAMOS"
Vamosss!
"Accelerate alot" now the avarage striking-power of Swedish players goes up from 110% to 200% 🙃
Hahaha yes, that should’t happen.🤣
Very good vidéo Sven ! VVVAAAMMMOOSS
Thank you! Vamoss
THX
Thank you!
as Always! great and very instructional! I'm glad i have found you channel! it has helped me a lot. p.s o have watched every video i think🤘
You are amazing Rickard! Thank you so much!
Usually flat from defense.
Super!
Allways flat from the backwall!
And without the backwall?
Tell me you have a Dutch accent, without telling me you have a dutch accent
