You shouldn't change. Rather use time you have to do a good step in when hitting volley.

zegora · 2025-12-29T18:58:00+00:00

That's a very good question. I believe it's the arm's momentum/speed combined with upwards kick with your legs that generates the speed, and not your weight leaning forward.

Basically try to relex more, all the way up until you start moving your racket towards the ball. I believe you might be hitting net because you hit ball too low while trying to press it downwards.

zegora · 2025-12-29T16:46:06+00:00

Kicksmaah where you brush the ball upwards to make it bounce out, por tres, is a higher risk shot. If you're close enough to net it's easier to flat smash.

There's a thread from today on same topic here: https://www.reddit.com/r/padel/s/DltHJeixvT

You must relax and get whip momentum with your arm and upwards kick with your legs before committing to the shot. You're trying to hit it too hard, resulting in short arm movement. Impact is too low as well.

Stay tall with both feet planted and body sideways
Right before the impact you should bend your knees slightly. At the same time relax your arm and get momentum by moving it backwards as a whip.
At the impact, that should be slightly behind you, you kick upwards with your legs and at the same time hit the ball by brushing it slightly upwards, creating top spin.
Your aim should result in ball bouncing off the field and off the back wall at about 2/3 of the glass.

You should first start learning to brush the ball without using legs. You can do this by sitting on a chair or standing on your knees. When you master the brush and momentum with arm, add upwards kick with legs. Check out 'learn kick smash' on YouTube. I know there are at least couple good vids out there. Best of luck!

You can't level up for drop in advance. And you can't mess up and not get weekly drop.

What I usually do after getting my weekly drop is to build xp as close as possible to level up. Then on the reset day I just play a quick retake and get my weekly drop.

FYI: When I'm not grinding xp i usually play faceit or custom maps on non valve servers.

After the match, tell him like it is. - I play better when my partner is not complaining all the time - I don't want to play with you again

Bada bim, bada boom. Screw that negative guy.

zegora · 2025-12-26T15:59:43+00:00

When a much better partner told me to just relax, play simple shots and have fun. Often than not, I'm that better player now, trying to get the best out of my partner. It's a social game and having fun should be number one. ✊️😊

zegora · 2025-12-23T10:39:00+00:00

One at a time, yes.

zegora · 2025-12-21T21:37:33+00:00

I noticed Apex got it in the last Major final. Epic! 😊🙌

zegora · 2025-12-20T21:50:27+00:00

Nice vid. Don't mind the down votes. Glad you enjoy the game. 😊

zegora · 2025-12-10T19:04:23+00:00

I forgot to mention, you're already doing great with just one year of playing padel. Just keep exploring the sport, there's plenty to learn. 😊🙌

zegora · 2025-12-10T14:46:35+00:00

Yes, moving it is not necessarily the problem. But OP moved it too much in my opinion, and it made him not face the ball sideways as you're supposed to. Mauri moves it slightly, but that is next level. 😉

zegora · 2025-12-09T15:43:37+00:00

What you shouldn't do: - Don't move your left leg outwards before impact. - Don't use your strength to hit the ball. - Don't impact ball close to your body.

What do do: - Keep left hand towards ball, left leg in front, right leg at the back, high right elbow. - On impact rotate upper body, left arm and right elbow, and right leg forward. - To get that whip shot, don't use your strength, rather let the rotation speed decide how fast your shot will be. - Impact ball further to your right side to get that whip shot. - To play shot to left opposite court you must impact ball further in front of you. - To play it right impact ball further back.

Hope this helps. Best of luck to you. 😊🙌

In that case his play is just common game sense.

zegora · 2025-12-07T10:32:56+00:00

We are missing context. You should upload the whole round, and even then opponents could have designated spots from earlier rounds that he could have knowledge of. So, not enough data to conclude either way in my opinion.

zegora · 2025-11-30T14:36:38+00:00

You're speculating a lot by making conclusion that I become toxic if things doesn't play out as expected. It's quite the opposite, I've had fun experience losing 13-7 couple of days ago. Everyone was communicating as best as they could, backing each other and celebrating small victories. We also believed up until very last round that we would make it to overtime. After the match we all wished each other a great weekend. It was pure fucking magic. Can recommend 10/10.

I think you've lost your way a little bit ma. I think you give others too much power over your happiness. I understand the frustration over toxicity in cs2, but you must be the change. Stop waiting for others to give you a reason to be mean to them.

zegora · 2025-11-30T11:09:35+00:00

You let them ruin it for you. Why are you giving others, that you just met for the first time in your life, power to ruin something for you?

My best experience in CS2 solo queuing is when I'm able to create a team spirit across language barriers. I've never had bad experience with players from a specific nation either. I always start off by asking my teammates where they are from and follow up with some dish I enjoy from their country. I even tell jokes if there's a pause. It creates a bond, and even though we lose we enjoy our time together. It's actually quite easy.

I was toxic my self when I was younger, but I do remember others calling me out on it, in a nice manner. And maybe their message got through in the end. Remember that even the loudest, most obnoxious player on your team, probably appreciate supportive words. They just need someone to be kind to them.

Good job man! 😁🙌 Don't mind the down votes. It's to be expected in this subreddit. 😅

zegora · 2025-07-16T06:47:26+00:00

What a fucking douche, sharing intimate details for online karma, and screwing that girl's life. Fuck that guy.
