Au padel, when the team that is at the net and is lobed and the lob is too deep to be able to spike, the volleyball player finds himself having to back up and play the ball past the glass.

This situation is not a bad situation because the player has several options of moves and zones to play.

When the player finds himself playing the ball after the glass above the hip, this is the perfect situation to stay aggressive. The player can either go into force, or find a space to play the opponents below the net and take the net very quickly to have an easy end to play.

If the ball is below the hip after rebounding on the glass, the best option will be to re-build a lob to give yourself time and control of the exchange.

Remember, when you decide to be aggressive you have to accept the fact that you can miss out and not get frustrated. Who says taking a risk says they have a chance to miss. Your decision will depend on the score and the timing of the match.

Be smart and think about the moves you want to make to anticipate your next shot. The goal is always to be one step ahead of your opponent.
