Slice return
A return hit with backspin so it stays low over the net and skids after the bounce, making the server volley up.

Open the racket face slightly and swing from high to low. Keep the swing short and the wrist firm. Aim low over the net, ideally at the incoming server's feet.

Ist der Schlag slice return im Padel erlaubt?
Legal under Rule 8.1: you must let the serve bounce in your box and play it before it bounces a second time. The return is good when it lands in the opponents' court, directly or off your own walls (Rule 14.1b).
