Forehand wrist flick

Lock your wrist when hitting the ball - move your hand up as far as it goes, then its less flicky. Also move your whole arm and body to push the ball - rotate your shoulders with the shot. A trainer or experienced padel player should be able to show you how to do that.

Something that I found I was doing was that I was preparing my racquet too high. Because it was prepared too high, my brain throught I needed to flick or slice the ball when it came time to hitting to correct it. When I prepared the racquet lower, by brain did not have the tendency or need to try and over correct it, result in flatter lower shows with less wrist movements.

Probably you prepare too late. Flicking the wrist is a natural reaction when you feel you don't have enough power/speed and want to add more. If you prepare earlier, you can have a smoother arm swing and more confident to return a ball back. If you go to gym and familiar with muscle activation, focus your attention on your peca and core for forehand and back muscle for backhand. That diverts attention away from arm/wrist and hopefully helps in reducing wrist flixk

You need some waist / shoulder rotation and guidance with your other hand. Get low, rotate, push through the impact

In my experience the easiest way to fix wristy shots is to temporarily change rackets to something much harder and heavier. You will not be able to use your wrist and will (hopefully) learn to use your bigger joints for your stroke. After a few weeks you can move back to your regular racket and with a little conscious effort keep your new technique. If you don't have easy access to a big hard racket you can modify yours to fit the bill. Throw on three extra overgrips and about 10-15 extra grams of weight on the top edge of the racket. I promise you will not be using your wrist after the first 10 minutes if that.

Have a coaching session to work on this and video the session. The main thing is to rewire your brain to understand the feeling of how the right way of hitting the ball should feel, and just keep repeating that feeling until that’s the default

I’ve had this exact issue, especially when I started overthinking my forehand. My wrist would take over and the ball would just float off to the side. What helped me was slowing everything down and focusing on a more stable wrist through contact, almost feeling like the arm and racket move as one piece. It felt weird at first, but it cleaned things up a lot. Do you notice it happening more when you’re rushed or when you have more time to set up? I am still learning, but def share anything you did to solve this.

Practise against a wall until you have it sorted. You have to predict how high the ball will bounce so that you’re prepared. Short swing preparation and throughout the main part of the swing your forearm needs to run parallel to the ground, like you’re cleaning dust off a table with your arm. I think the wrist can open and close a bit but if you flick too hard you’ll lose all control. Obviously good footwork is essential too

I'd say try slowing it down. Hitting the ball with less power and more accuracy is obviously better than hitting the ball too hard. If you slow it down and you're still doing too much of a whip with your wrist then you'll probably need help to address it (either with your grip, your positioning or timing, hard to say from here)
