7 tips to Mastering Your Recreational Padel Game Grip
How to grip a Padel racket properly?
To a Padel racket properly, follow these steps:
Start with the basic grip
Place the racket in your non-dominant hand with the strings facing towards you.
Hold the handle
Position your hand on the handle of the racket, ensuring that the base rests at the bottom of your palm.
Alignment
Position your hand so that the handle runs along the bottom crease of your hand, allowing your fingers to wrap around naturally.

Your fingers should wrap around the handle with a firm, but not overly tight, grip. Each finger should have contact with the handle, but avoid squeezing too hard, as it can cause tension and decrease your control.
Thumb placement:
Position your thumb comfortably on the back of the handle, opposite your fingers. It should rest diagonally towards the racket head, providing stability and control.
Proper wrist position
Maintain a slight downwards angle with your wrist, ensuring it's not completely straight. This angle helps improve your shot accuracy and power.
