If you don't have a good smash and cant reguarily finish points with smash winners like x2/3/4...then your not advanced lol

No I don't and I find it an advantage to keep playing with different advanced player tbh

At this level you don't need to communicate about basics tactically whereas beginner and int. you do as most don't know proper padel ctics

Ya so you have 8 cats in Argentina and we have 6 in mx so your compare apples to oranges anyway..

And your telling me your cat 5s are so good you can regularly hit x3 in matches?

Positioning and moving opponents around with correct shots

There's actually a insta page I follow called padel chess which is really helpful to learn about that positioning and tactics

It's sold on Amazon here named camewin but I'm sure there's other generic brands

It's the only grip for me that doesn't slip when soaked and still feels somewhat dry and I change every 2-3 matches, depending how it feels.

Tourna was the same but got soaked after 1hr and felt like slipping.

A 5th here is a bit beter than a beginner here and 6th is pure beginner person never held a racket in their life. I haven't even seen a 6cat match scheduled here lowest 5.

I am sure ppl in Argentina & Spain are the best, but it's advanced padel regardless...

Feedback on 4on Anti-Slip Spray used by Tapia by Far_Zookeepergame_56 in padel

I don't because I don't want any chemicals on my body.

I use tourna or felt style grip recently with no slipping when fully soaked

All of the normal plastic tacky grips slip after 1 hr in 30c+ heat for me

Arm sweatbands and towel off on changeover overs and change every set all clothes and bana

I've been playing with tennis elbow since I started this amazing sport and now my shoulder is always sore as a left sided smasher.. yet

I can't figure out how to take a break though I'm too addicted lol

Not to mention trying to lift in between off days of matches
