Double fake
More than one change of shape before a single hit. Hitting the ball twice loses the point; the fake is only in the movement.
When to play it
Very rarely, as a surprise at a high level.
How to play it
Show one shot, start a second, then play a third. Hit the ball once only, in one stroke. Keep your balance throughout.
Common mistakes
Hitting the ball twice, which loses the point. Fooling yourself rather than the opponents.
Rules for this shot
Questions
Is the double fake legal in padel?
Legal: the fake is only movement, and the shot is judged like any other under Rule 14. You must still strike the ball once, in one movement (Rules 13i and 14h).
