Rocket Padel Bristol’s Coach Gonzalo identifies four typical padel serving mistakes and provides advice on how to avoid them.
The first error is serving too low, which causes the ball to travel slower and produce a parabolic impact. The goal for players should be to hit the ball as high as possible.
The second mistake is to begin running too soon or too late. Ideally, you should begin as soon as you strike the ball and run through one complete motion.
Dropping the ball too near to the body and pointing the racket tip down might result in hitting too low and a decrease in swing speed, which is the third fault.
Finally, players should concentrate on slicing the ball correctly, not advancing too quickly from high to low or from low to high. The speaker also suggests that players press forward to extend the serve after hitting and raise their racket over the ball to add slice. In his conclusion, he says that serving with a better slice and placement is more effective than serving quickly and erratically. He also advises being shrewd on the court and determining the appropriate intensity for serves.
