High finish in padel and injury prevention

Benefits of a high finish in padel technique

The high finish in padel strokes has become one of the most important technical gestures for injury prevention and efficiency in the game. Adopting this finish not only improves the quality of your stroke but also helps protect the most vulnerable joints such as the shoulder, elbow, and wrist. At TiendaPadelPoint we understand the relevance of proper technique, which is why we offer the best padel rackets on the market, ideal for supporting safe and effective play.

Why does a high finish protect against injuries?

The high finish refers to ending the arm movement above shoulder level, especially after strokes such as the forehand, backhand, or bandeja. This action allows for a progressive dissipation of energy generated on impact, preventing the force from being concentrated in a single joint. For example, by finishing high, the elbow and wrist are free from excessive tension, which significantly reduces the risk of conditions such as epicondylitis (tennis elbow) or wrist tendinitis.

Additionally, a correct high finish encourages the natural relaxation of the arm after impact, which prevents muscle overload and contributes to a longer sporting life.

What injuries are most common due to poor finish?

Padel is a sport of repetitive impact and, when a correct high finish is not performed, the chances of injury increase considerably. The most frequent injuries associated with poor technique include:

• Epicondylitis (tennis elbow)
• Rotator cuff tendinitis (shoulder)
• Wrist injuries
• Chronic muscle inflammation

These problems can worsen if adequate products such as padel shoes or technical clothing that help maintain correct posture and cushioning are not used.

The importance of accessories and suitable rackets

An effective high finish also depends on the use of padel accessories that promote grip and comfort. Brands such as Adidas, Nox, or Bullpadel develop technologies aimed at reducing vibration transmission and improving ergonomics.

In our accessories section, you can find specific products such as wristbands, grips, and protectors that help keep every stroke safe.

How to develop a proper high finish?

Learning the high finish requires practice and conscious attention in executing each stroke. We recommend the following steps to improve your technique:

• Perform gentle hitting exercises focusing on always finishing with the racket above the shoulder.
• Watch videos of professional players and analyze the final arm position after the stroke.
• Use padel rackets suited to your level and physical needs.
• Consult certified coaches to correct possible technical flaws.

Injury prevention depends not only on technique but also on physical preparation and the use of quality padel balls that ensure balanced bounce and avoid forced movements. Do not hesitate to renew your accessories and check out the news in our store.
