Pablo is helped by Hello Padel Academy expert paddle coach Mauri Andrini to improve his chiquita shot. The chiquita is a volley stroke used to smash the ball below net height in an attempt to put opponents under strain.
Mauri shows Pablo the proper aiming area, gives time and technique advice, and emphasizes the need of maintaining a comfortable distance from the net and opponent.
He tells players to try the chiquita only when they are certain they can perform it well. Mauri evaluates Pablo’s performance during the video and makes recommendations for how to do better, such keeping back and getting to the net position on time.
The instructor stresses the value of maintaining composure under duress and avoiding costly errors, even when they are of a technical character.
