Padel Magazine - We focus in this article on the attackers of the circuit. They are tall, powerful, play on the left and have high arm speed. At the slightest lobe a little short, or the least lobe if they are confident, they try the winning smash, full axis or side to get out the ball.

Are concerned in this category: Miguel LAMPERTI, Augustin Gomez SILINGO, Fernando POGGI and Maxi SANCHEZ

These players do not fall into the category of the most complete players of the circuit, it is not the most technical or even that it is questionable, but they compensate for an incredible presence on the fly and a perfect address to the smash.

Watching a game with one of these players is always special. The opponents' tactics are always the same: never lob on him, that is, on the attacker of the team, but always on his partner. The attacker will have more difficulty on slow balls in the feet when in flight or fast balls when in defense, and thus move him.

The attacker, for his part, will do everything to add intensity to each ball, manage to stay at the net as much as possible. Due to its size it takes up space on the fly and it is complicated for the opponents to manage to make it move back by a passing or a lobe. He never hesitates to intercept a lobe on his partner and to attempt the smash. This smash must be a winner because its placement is then very bad and the cons may be fatal! Video demonstration:

On this point SILINGO, (the player dressed in black) hardly touches the ball, and no lobes in his diagonal, but as soon as he takes the risk, he goes 100% !!

To see if one day a team consists of 2 smashers!
