Open-stance forehand
A forehand played without stepping across, when there is no time to turn fully. The shoulders still turn even if the feet do not.
När du ska slå det
On fast balls close to your body. When you need to recover quickly after the shot.
Så slår du det
Load your weight on the outside foot. Turn your shoulders and swing through as the weight shifts. Keep the swing compact.
Vanliga misstag
Hitting with the arm only and no shoulder turn. Leaning back, which sends the ball long.

Är open-stance forehand tillåten i padel?
Legal under Rule 12.3: play the ball after one bounce, off the glass if you like, before it bounces again. It must reach the opponents' court, directly or off your own walls (Rule 14.1b), and must not hit their walls or fence first (Rule 13.1g).
