Hiya
Just started being more active again and picked up padel. I'd like to use my Apple Watch and Strava. I don't really know much and was wondering:
Does the watch go on your dominant wrist/swinging arm or the other one? And why?
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. I've never worn a watch for sports :)
Bpm might be interesting to see intensity of the game and there is no difference which hand. But overall padel is great fun with group of people. Enjoy the game and be social.
I wear on dominant and put on tennis mode so I know roughly how many times I smashed(it’s counted as tenis service) and forehand/backhand ratio.
For heart rate I just wear chest strap. They are cheap and way more accurate than watches during sports.
I used an app called padelio which give you stats on which shots you have been using and how many, like how many smash, Bandeja, volley, backhand forehand… etc. it’s great and requires you to wear the watch on your dominant hand.
