Attack After Glass/Bajada - Where SHOULD you aim?

When the ball goes over your head and you are running back, you have a few sensible options for your next shot. This video explains where and when you should hit that ball, assuming you can get your body behind it.

This is the biggest mistake when it comes to playing this shot, the majority of players wait for the ball to come to them off the glass and therefore end up contacting behind them. It is extremely difficult to be aggressive with this shot if the ball is behind you.



From the Coach
"Defending these difficult balls with slice is the next step for intermediate players to reach a higher level. If you can get every ball back in court, it makes life very tough for your opponent!"

Sandy focused his attention from tennis to padel in 2010, learning the game with several trips and courses in Spain. His education in Sports Biomechanics, combined with playing and coaching at an international level (both in tennis and now padel) puts him in a great position to share his insights in the sport, hopefully helping others learn in the process.
