The volley near the net is a classic shot at padel. You have two ways of tackling it, either by trying to attack your opponent with a volley which is often tense and fast or with a neutralization volley, that is to say, a volley placed to build a point.

Willy and Jeremy return to these two options.

Jérémy - The aggressive volley

We will see together the aggressive volley, a blow that is close to my heart. The purpose of this move is to surprise your opponent.

So tactically, so you can type in the center, or on the player who just played the ball on the baseline. It is necessary to attack the ball with the right foot, the snowshoe well forward, without making too much gesture.

What is very important also is the orientation of the racket, which must be flat, or slightly closed. With an open grip, we risk making mistakes and losing power.

Willy - The stolen neutralization

We will see together the volley neutralization, very effective when your opponents will play a fast ball after a release of glass

This move is very important to regain control of the game.

You have to play this volley short enough so that it does not bounce against the window.

It must be played in the middle of the court so that the opponents are in the same place.

You have to play it short enough without bouncing on the glass and in the middle to focus your opponents in the same place

This gives the opportunity to then play a short shot in an angle to complete the point

To do this, keep the racquet head high, as if you were holding a hammer

In reverse, take out the outer part of the wrist, advance the right leg and make a very short swing

In forehand, it is the opposite, one opens the wrist and one advances the left leg.
