New players and fans of padel spend hours playing. They have only one desire: to progress while having fun! The game without windows, the game with the windows, volleys, smashes and specific shots padel cannot escape enthusiasts.

But now, like most gamers, you watch youtube videos and the best points of professional gamers on the World Padel Tour. Obviously it is very hard to be able to technically copy and dissect each move.

La bandeja is the most requested move in learning as if knowing how to make a bandeja proves that the player knows how to play padel.

Unfortunately the bandeja is a move that everyone complicates. But in reality it is a much easier move to understand and execute. The bandeja is a waiting shot when the smasher is far from the net and doesn't want to lose the net. The player therefore makes a bandeja to play the long and deep ball.

To perform a good bandeja, it is absolutely not necessary to take the ball at the level of the shoulder and the ear as some people learn, but rather to imagine that it is a high forehand volley that one lengthens while relaxing.

At the risk of displeasing some, players are doing less and less bandeja during a match. New shots have arrived due to the change of balls, the evolution of playing conditions, and the physics of players much more professional than at a certain time.

For example, today the padel is much faster than 10 years ago. There is a tendency to play faster and faster while trying to let the ball pass less. Objective: Speed ​​up your opponents. The problem is that you have to be in harmony with your partner and the other concern: If the ball is badly touched, too high, behind, it is the penalty.

We feel that the padel is changing. What we learned yesterday is no longer necessarily relevant today. Gone are the days when we used to hear: “Lassez pass the ball”.

All this leads to an evolution of the game that brings new moves in the padel.

When you learn the strokes of the padel, you have to know how to keep the gesture simple and not complicate your life, by making big moves with big gestures ... Go step by step. Easier said than done, but you'll find it will make the game easier.
