Rally & Roam

Off the back glass: backhand

The same skill on the backhand: let the ball pass, turn with it off the back glass, and play it back as it drops.

When to play it

On deep balls to your backhand side. When a lob or a bandeja reaches your back glass.

How to play it

Turn your shoulders to the glass early. Let the ball rebound and move with it. Slice it low over the net or lob it.

Common mistakes

Facing the glass instead of turning side on. Hitting before the ball has dropped.

Rules for this shot

Questions

Is the salida de pared de revés 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).
