The chiquita is a shot often used in padel, since it is a rather slow baseline stroke, the objective of which is to put the ball in the feet of the opponent at the net.

Most often, the player who makes a chiquita then advances in the field to try to cut the trajectory then.

The realization:

  • Bottom ball
  • Making a slow ball
  • In the opponent's feet

Tactically:

The player who uses a Chiquita may aim to slow down the game, move back, find a more interesting defensive position with his partner, or use this shot to counter-attack the next shot by advancing and hoping a high ball of the opponent to cut the trajectory.
