Unlike tennis, the technique of padel is much less complex. The initial grip will be practically the same for all shots.
Whether for service, strokes, volley or smash each player will have different feelings, but most often with a single shot. The most important thing is what the player feels when he plays his shots. There is not really any technical truth even if there is a general base from which it is difficult to derogate to evolve in its game.
The most important technique will be the racket head that will give direction to the ball you play.
In Spain, most coaches talk to us most often about slackening, letting the racket head pass after impact and above all about gestures. Even if in France we are more focused on technical perfection, we quickly realize that technique is not the most important area in the field. padel.
Of course, tennis players who are new to padel will have a certain ease in their shots due to a solid foundation of tennis. But beware, this can also become a handicap. Obviously it works and the result is often faster and more positive than one might think.
Technicians perfectionists, do not take the lead and play with your feelings while being ready to evolve your game more tactically than technically.

Totally wrong this article; Should you change the outlet padel ?
It is written in the heading; The initial grip will be practically the same for all shots. By reading this we understand why our padel French has been picking up for several years in front of Nations like Spain which plays the padel with its own technique.
Au padel, the opponent's space is 100 m². The space at the back of the court near the glass, everyone can enter.
On the other hand, the space behind the net over 2/3 meters and over the width of the court, there to enter it you must have the specific holds padel associated with personal catches. I was this WE at the Roquetant tennis Club tournament, the Haziza / Scatena team directs part of its game in this famous space. As soon as they master it even more, they will become even more formidable for the French teams.
All this to say that padel, you have to constantly change your grip to find angles that will destabilize the opposing players.
It is called the “touch” of the ball, essential for padel modern.

Hi Michel Laborie,
You are surely right and we are wrong but know that the touch of the ball does not necessarily come from the snowshoeing. In addition we speak of technique and you answer by the space of the terrai, I do not really see the report.
Once again this article is general because coma in everything there are exceptions and some players will have to change the grips because they do not really have any sensations in the hand and changing the grip would be a solution to "better" feel the ball. .
Before saying that this article is totally false and that is why the French are scant compared to the Spaniards do you really know the padel? Are you a gamer? Are you a trainer?
cordially
Hello, I had a quick question. When you do bandeja to vibora, is it necessary to open the grip a little to give a better effect to the ball or is it advisable to stay in continental grip?
Thanks in advance for the reply.
Kind regards.
