From the club Padel San Miguel de Tenerife, let's learn or deepen the attacking forehand in padel.

How to realize it? What exercises to perform?

Clubs, players and teachers of padel, use these 2 videos to help you improve the forehand attack.

The right shot of attack in a few lines:

The attack stroke is different from the "straight" forehand from its impact location: below the belt for the single forehand and above for the right attack shot.

Although many players perform this shot below the belt, I advise to separate the 2 learning phase.

- Use on the body of the player on the fly to "fix" before preparing an attack
- Use to earn a point directly or as preparation with intent to finish at the net
- Use with an effect cut from the top to the front
- Low on the legs
- Left hand (for the right-handed) towards the side gate and not towards the ball
- Preparation with the racket pulled backwards over the shoulder
- Face (or sieve) of the racket facing the sky
- Tip of the front foot facing the opponent's court to avoid knee injuries
- Strike above the waist, if possible at the height of our face
- Impact of the ball slightly in front of us
- Transfer of the body from the back to the front
- Finishing the gesture in a sling, the arm will wrap around the neck
