This is one of the most debated situations on a field of paddle When a ball hits the junction between the glass and the wire mesh , The famous "corner" of the field Many players no longer really know if the ball is good … or fault .
And yet, this situation does have a particularity in the settlement .
A separate area on the field
In padel, the window and the wire mesh they do not react in the same way at all.
The glass produces a clean and readable bounce , while wire mesh often completely breaks the path of the ball.
But between the two there is a extremely particular intermediate zone : the junction between the glass and the wire mesh .
When the ball hits precisely this angle , the rebound sometimes becomes totally unpredictable :
• sudden change of direction
• ball that comes back towards the player
• false bounce
• Or trajectory almost impossible to read

Why is this connection generating so much debate?
À actual speed It is very difficult to know what the ball hits. Only the glass, the wire mesh, or both at the same time? Enough to create disagreements, sometimes decisive .
Or at Service The rule is strict: after the rebound in the opposing square the ball can hit the window , but not directly the wire mesh .
This subtlety therefore causes a great deal of disputes in amateur clubs.
The famous “90-degree bounce”
When an impact causes this type of abnormal trajectory , the exchange can be considered as fault ou years depending on the situation and the referee's interpretation. The main objective is to avoid a point being decided on a rebound deemed uncontrollable .
Many practitioners simply think about the service:
• glass = good ball
• fencing = fault
But the reality is more subtle.
La junction between the two surfaces has a very particular behavior. A ball that hits exactly this area can produce a inconsistent rebound , difficult to read, even for experienced players.
A frequent source of confusion
This famous area between the window and the wire mesh remains today one of the rules most misunderstood by casual players.
At actual speed, the difference is often tiny which explains the numerous hesitations et protests during the matches.
