Bajada off the side glass
The attacking bajada played on a ball that rises high off the side glass rather than the back glass, struck in the air on its way down.

When a high ball comes off your side glass at shoulder height or above. When the other pair expect a defensive lob.

Hitting it while it is still rising off the glass. Standing too close to the side wall and getting cramped.
