Here are two offensive shots from padel and who want to be definitive: the par 4 and the smash on the feet.

By 4 is a smash so powerful that it passes the wall opposite just after the rebound in the opposite party. The opposing wall making 4 meters, it is commonly called by 4.

The Knee Smash is a rather flat, powerful blow to the opponent's feet when the ball is not high enough to make a par 4 for example or other types of smashes.

The 4 PAR

Problematic

You are in attack, the net and the blow you just played is quality. The opponent is cornered at the bottom of the court and tries to lob, his ball rises but with little speed.

Solution:

the par 4: this is a smash whose point of impact on the ground is close to you and rises very high, We want the ball to come out of the field by passing over the back wall located 4 meters from where its Spanish name "por 4" which can be translated simply "by 4"

The points to remember to make this move

  1. Have support online
  2. Move towards the ball
  3. Give a wrist to impose a rebound very close to you

The smash on the feet

Problematic

Same situation as before but the ball rises little.

Solution:

the strong smash with the feet: it is here about a smash whose point of impact on the ground is close to the feet of the opponent which is in front. The idea is that he does not have the physical time to react and therefore to surprise him by the change of rhythm.

The points to remember to make this move

  1. Have support online
  2. Move towards the ball
  3. Aim a deep point of the ground the line can be a good visual reference
