Au padel, we are seeing more and more badminton players embark on the adventure of padel. What is obvious: These bad players are often very talented and quickly manage to obtain a good level of padel.

And you will see that at the level of the smash, the bad players have nothing to envy the tennis players who put themselves in the padel. Staggering reflexes, the heart of an ox, broken legs foolproof.

In this video, we take the liberty of showing you a bad exchange. A somewhat special exchange where what interests us is the smash.

The smashes have nothing to do with it. The same goes for technique. The shuttlecock and racquet used in badminton do not really resemble the equipment of the padel.

In 2013, during the doubles match at the 2013 World Badminton Championships, the Chinese Zhao Yunlei / Zhang Nan (in yellow) faced the Indonesians Liliyana Natsir / Tontowi Ahmad (in red). And you will be able to understand our badminton friends are capable of achieving feats on the courts of padel...
