Víbora
A faster overhead than the bandeja with heavy side spin, aimed into the side glass so it skids low and dies.
Wann du ihn spielst
On a lob a little shorter than ideal, from the backhand side of your overhead. When you want to put pressure on the pair at the back without losing the net.
So spielst du ihn
Same preparation as the bandeja, contact a little more to the side. Brush across the ball fast for side spin. Aim at the side glass near the back corner.
Typische Fehler
Too much pace and not enough spin, so the ball sits up off the glass. Trying it on deep lobs that need a bandeja.
