Backhand of attack cut out of window

From the club Padel San Miguel de Tenerife, let's learn or deepen the attacking reverse cut out of the window.

How to realize it? What exercises to perform?

Clubs, players and teachers of padel, use these 2 videos to help you improve the leading edge cut out of the window.

The reverse of attack cut out of glass in a few lines:

This shot is different from the "single out of window" reverse from its place of impact (below the belt for the single reverse at the exit of glass, and above for the reverse attack), and by its effect (flat for the exit of simple glass and cut for the attack).

Out of the window, we can use 2 types of backhand attack: The fast on the volleyball or to gain the point directly passing them, and the slow looking "generally" a short cross zone in the direction of the grid.

Technically:

- Primal importance of the footwork to achieve this shot
- Use to earn a point directly or as preparation with intent to finish at the net
- Use with an effect cut from the top to the front
- Low on the legs
- Left hand (for right-handed people) helps to "pull" the racket backwards. The left elbow will point to the sky.
- Preparation with the racket pulled backwards over the shoulder
- Face (or sieve) of the racket facing the sky
- Position of the wrist type acceleration "moto" to block elbow and wrist at the time of the striking
- Very important footwork in order to have the best possible position after the bounce of the ball on the window
- Tip of the front foot facing the opponent's court to avoid knee injuries
- Strike above the waist, if possible near our face for quick shots
- Can be hit under the belt for short, short strokes
- Impact of the ball slightly in front of us
- Transfer of the body from the back to the front
- Finishing of the gesture with the arms stretched for the balance of the body
