Hitting off the back glass in padel is a fundamental skill that can greatly enhance your game. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Positioning: Stand close to the back glass, ensuring you have enough space to move and prepare for the shot.
- Anticipate the Bounce: Watch the ball as it approaches the back glass. Anticipate where it will bounce and position yourself accordingly.
- Prepare Early: Get your racket ready early. Ideally, you want to hit the ball just after it rebounds off the glass.
- Use Soft Hands: A gentle touch is key. The aim is to guide the ball rather than hitting it hard.
- Footwork: Move your feet to get into the right position. Good footwork will help you adjust and make a controlled shot.
- Hit Smoothly: Swing your racket smoothly, aiming to direct the ball towards your desired target on the court.
- Follow Through: Ensure your follow-through is smooth and controlled. This helps in maintaining direction and control over the ball.
