Winning padel shots: five tactical finishers
Key takeaway from our Guru
Which shots should I use to finish points in padel?
You should aim your volleys and bajadas down the middle to reduce the opponent's angles. For the vibora and kick smash, focus on your wrist snap at contact to generate the necessary spin and power.
What this lesson covers
The forehand volley accounts for 17 percent of winners in the professional game. Direct this shot down the middle using a high to low motion while adding backspin to the ball. The vibora requires preparation behind the head to generate spin, utilizing the elbow and wrist for a powerful finish.
The bajada attacks high lobs by striking the ball in a downward motion. Aiming this shot down the middle at speed creates pressure on opponents. The pop out relies on wrist action rather than arm strength. Execute this shot after a strong volley by stepping close to the net to flick the ball away. The kick smash requires selecting the right ball to avoid setting up an easy counter. Aim cross court while adding topspin and snapping the wrist at contact.
