Do you use the fake smash? – Padel

When should and when shouldn’t you use the fake smash?

These steps will help you by performing the fake smash in padel

• Push back from your front foot and start turning your shoulders
• Make sure your feet are underneath the ball and place your body in a “trophy position”. This position looks like the serving pose in tennis.
• Make it look like you’re going for a topspin smash
• Your racket arm goes straight up for contact and your legs come a bit off the ground
• Contact the ball in the middle of your racket and give the ball slow speed
• Follow your racket through in the direction of the ball
