Overview
A guide for properly setting your paddle position (in less than a minute)
Paddle Position Tutorial
In “Paddle Position” Settings (Menu > Settings Gear > Paddle > Paddle Position Gear):
- Close your eyes and lightly shake your arms/hands
- With your eyes closed, raise your paddle flat in front of your face
- Open your eyes, note any difference between actual (in game) and expected (in your mind) paddle position
- Freeze your paddle and move your hand to correct your grip on the frozen paddle, then unfreeze
- Repeat from Step 1 until there is no difference between your “Eyes closed” paddle and your “Eyes open” paddle after the raise test
Do this for a few different paddle angles to set the perfect paddle position:
- Main surface flat to your face
- Thin side of paddle centered in your vision
- Backside flat to your face
- Centering the paddle handle to your nose
I couldn’t figure out why all my shots were flying high and the first time I tried the flat face test my paddle was canted 45° to the right
If any of this is confusing let me know in the comments and I’ll try to explain it better
