La Bandeja is a blow to padel widely used by gamers, even more so by gamers padel confirmed. This is a “plateau” smash or even a “cut” smash. In the first episode of Tecnifibre Game Changer: How to perform a bandeja?

Willy Lahoz and Jérémy Scatena do not have the same answer!

Jérémy Scatena: The pegada! 

We will talk about Pegada (which means "borrows" in Spanish) and typed smash. It's a finishing moment of a point, it's a strong choice. It is necessary to choose a shot where the opponent is far enough from the door to avoid that he can go out and return the ball. Technically, it is very important to push on the legs, take the ball behind the head and have a closed grip to give maximum effect to the ball so that it can leave the field.

Willy Lahoz - The typical shot of padel

Let's go for the bandeja, a typical stroke of padel.

A good Bandeja is a shot from which the ball should hardly bounce to force the opponent to bend down a lot.

To make this move, it is necessary to position the racket as if one held a plate with glasses on it.

The elbow at the height of the shoulder.

We must then rotate backward, adjusting with small steps

When the ball is 45 ° to my right, I will hit it with a striking shot well ahead, and turning at the same time to give it effect.

Thus, the ball does not bounce almost on the ground and is very difficult to pick up.
