You deserve more thumbs up!

Qué lindo loco que sos maestro! Como explicas es un escándalo... espectacular!

It is the only time in the rally when you have complete control....... don't waste it ! 😀

I do the same as coach, I ask people to take their phones out to film themselves, to see the "extra unnecessary" movements are NOT aware of ...that's game changer when they see the details that composes a good shot technically and effectively to challenge opponents.

Bravo Gabo!

Well explained and stunning views btw! Saludos desde Marbella 🎉

This place looks amazing

Great tips! I will practice on the ferry in my way back from this tremendous camp in Solta.

great tip! Thanks man, your videos are really helpful... if you dont mind me asking, what brand and model is that racket? looks stunning

Best video on the drop-shot, thanks!

Hi, interesting idea! I think that this is something for advanced players though. If I freeze frame your shots at then end, you prepare high, but right before hitting a vibora, you move into "the closed racket behind head position" that generally is taught. You have the practice and experience to quickly do this adjustment before hitting, but someone who started playing padel and know approaches the vibora likely will not. Yes, preparing differently will telegraph your shot, but in my opinion, for the majority of players that is a lesser risk than the quick adjustment necessary if you prepare equal

great tip, also by keeping the legs together it gets easier to lean forward into the ball.

Finally I was waiting a video for smash, by far my worst worst shot. Thank you Coach. I would appreciate if you could give us practical drills to improve by ourselves. In my case the "efecto latigo" that the arm, forearm and wrist do before the hit is the thing I am struggling the most. Thank you for your valuable videos.

Great focuspoint for the kick.

Great tip, will analyse my own chicken legs this evening and try it out 👍🙏🎾

Oohhh Loving the simple, precise, comprehensible, sensible, well thought out strategy. Now to find the skill :). Thanks! Ric

I love your keep-it-simple approach, many thanks again!

Recently found this channel and it has been so helpful. Explain stuffs easy for dummies like me.

thx for this tip, coach! but.. what do you mean with "spaghetti style"? 😂😂. I'm italian...

Coming from 40 years of playing tennis and less than 8 months playing padel, I have to confess I agree with you. Tennis used to be interesting back in the 80s, but now it's absolutely boring, so boring that when someone like Alcaraz came up, it's almost an immediate star. I struggled and keep on learning, and I'm becoming better and better. The walls are the most beautiful and difficult part to get used to, but its so amazing to learn and be good at....Yes, in fact, padel is very different from tennis, but it helps a lot having the " touch" of the tennis experience. Padel is just a LOT more fun. A lot!

This is such a beautiful video, I'm new to this game and been playing for three months. I struggle with early preparation for overhead shots(I'm old 😊) and having the same preparation for different overhead shots is such a simple and beautiful solution. U can change the pace and padel face but preparing like taking the padel behind ur head for vibora felt so unnecessary , feel moving ur feet to create space to hit the ball is more important for a vibora than the correct racket position

One of the best Padel Coaches on KZfaq, Gracias Coach ❤

This is very, very good advice! I find it generally effective to play down the central third until the opponents give us an opening, pressing them back. This idea playing to the ‘inside leg’ is something I instinctively do as a result, but I’d never really analysed it like this - it really does make sense! Thanks for posting this.

Such good advice. For us "senior players" who can't kick it out X 3m, this is indeed the "bread and butter" shot. Easy to play. Very little risk. Make them play one more ball............ KEEP THE NET ! Love it.... all day long.

You just simplify my padel game with every video and I am seeing the fruits everyday. God bless Tasty Padel 🎉

Uso mucho ese golpe mas cuando estoy con malas sensaciones, y arranco el juego y no calente lo suficiente. Simplente toco sin riesgo y juego al primer cristal / reja. La gente se complica mucho xq la bola no llega casi al de fondo. Gran video. Te puedo hacer una consulta simple, estoy intentando agarrar la pala con un grip un poco mas alto, me doy cuenta que siempre dejo el dedo meñique casi afuera (vengo del tenis), y eso me sirve para algunos golpes, pero tambien a veces siento que me da inestabilidad porque me deja la muñeca muy desbloqueada. Sirve empuñar un poco mas alto ? y otra es, que tanto uno debe apretar ( sujetar con fuerza ) cuando juega? Me pasa en remates que a veces se me escapa la pala, o tambien que a la hora de bloquear tiros fuertes se me mueve un poco.. Saludos

So you are basically doing the preparation of the vibora as part of the shot, i.e. you prepare it "wrong", and then just a second before the shot you move the racket to the correct position :D . It's pretty strange and it makes the shot more difficult by adding 1 more step to the shot while you could do it during preparation where you usually have much more time. I mean, this technique you teach makes it actually harder to do a proper vibora, it's usually easier to learn more than one preparation but easier shots instead of one preparation and trickier shots! Moreover, about the disguise part, what they usually teach you is doing exactly the opposite if you want, that is: you prepare the vibora and then from that position you can perform a slower vibora and achieve a more defensive shot, similar to a bandeja. I'm not saying this doesn't work obviously, I'm just saying you are making the vibora MORE complex with this style!

Agree that beauty often lies in simplicity. I'll try that, just to see

what?! a Tasty racket with a open bridge? :D

with the amount of failures I think you can see why so few players do it in a match. If you're not getting 80-90% of them then I think you dont risk it... padel is probability and this is a low probability shot. Looks easy... but...

I love it when you provide solo practice drills like this one! Hope you will post more. MUCHAS GRACIAS !!

Another simple and effective exercise. Thanks 🙏

You made me laugh and you made me learn something new about padel, which are two things that I love! Thanks! 😁♥

Amazing. Congratulations. Finally a plain down to earth explanation. I do it exactly like your teaching....

I really enjoy your video´s, and especially your "relax" approach to padel, it helps me to be more calm understanding the different shot or playstyle in my own development of the game. Please continue make more content. :)

Good video. Tino, among the players who don't smash the ball often, is the scariest in the air, specially considering his age. One of my favourite players.

Great video!

Super...✌️🙌

Very good video, please do more so we can learn from you

Tino kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y8x7aNx3z5mbl5c.htmlsi=4KrQs67UIvj4_Twg

BRILLIANT!!! Always love your LOGICAL and PRACTICAL approach to ALL THINGS PADEL ....... and this one is PERFECT!! MUCHAS GRACIAS !!

Link to a video of Tino Libaak please :D

New Tasty video: first we press like, then we watch. Value is guaranteed

Oh i do have that coach with the bandeja and sometimes he drives me crazy! Love the example with Tino, he does make it look simple.

Great video. The same preparation for every shot makes good sense. Keep the opponent guessing

A tope como siempre aun mas

Great match. From a beginners viewpoint it seems that the game is about avoiding errors rather than hitting winners. Shots which ‘pressurised” the opponent seemed to often lead to them trying for too much and making an error.

Congrats! Oli is also playing with the Ruby?

How much louder is Ruby vs Gold? I have very sensitive ears and if I hit a volley close to my ears, it starts ringing. So I cannot use a racket which is loud :(

What if you play against a left handed player?
