Padel player Daniel Dios offers tips on how to execute the kick smash shot. Forehand and backhand players alike, the procedure can be made simpler with proper technique, even though it does take considerable power. Players that use their backhand have a better shooting angle.
Dios stresses preparation, which includes bending the knees, twisting the shoulders, and moving sideways with the racket behind and below the head. He also recommends practicing grip modifications for increased spin. The coach discusses wrist pronation and snap in another segment of the film in order to produce top spin.
He shows how to throw correctly, focusing on a loose wrist to increase spin and acceleration.
For the best weight transfer and body leverage, the kick smash impact point should be in front of the right shoulder.
In order to maximize power and technique, the coach also emphasizes the significance of locating the proper spot on the court, receiving the ball with the contact point between the head and right shoulder, and employing a backhand grip with a loose wrist. Generally, timing and good technique are more important for a successful kick smash than sheer force.
