Rally & Roam

Off two walls: back then side

A ball that hits the back glass then the side glass, or the other way round, before you play it. Stand further away than you think and let it come out to you.

When to play it

Defending deep balls into the corners. When the other pair aim at the meeting point of back and side glass.

How to play it

Read which wall it will hit first and stand off the corner. Let the ball come out of the corner towards the middle. Play it as a lob or a soft ball to the middle.

Common mistakes

Crowding the corner and getting tangled with the ball. Trying to attack from the corner instead of resetting the point.

Rules for this shot

Questions

Is the doble pared legal in padel?

Legal under Rule 12.3: once the ball has bounced on your side it stays in play off your glass and mesh until its second bounce (Rule 13c). Your shot must then go over the net without touching your own mesh or floor (Rule 13l).
