When to play it
On slow balls to your backhand side when your forehand is stronger. To attack the opponent on the far diagonal.
How to play it
Move early so you are well round the ball. Swing across the ball towards the far corner. Recover quickly, since you have left space on your side.
Common mistakes
Running round balls you do not have time for. Leaving your own forehand side open afterwards.

Questions
Is the inside-out forehand legal in padel?
Legal under Rule 12.3: play the ball after one bounce, off the glass if you like, before it bounces again. It must reach the opponents' court, directly or off your own walls (Rule 14.1b), and must not hit their walls or fence first (Rule 13.1g). Running round the ball onto your partner's side is allowed; only one of you may hit it (Rule 13.1o).
