Bandeja: down the line
The bandeja played straight along the side wall instead of across the court, to the player behind you, as a change of direction.
Cuándo jugarlo
When the opponent opposite you is out of position. To vary your bandejas so they cannot read them.
Cómo jugarlo
Same preparation as the cross-court bandeja. Contact a little later and guide the ball along the side glass. Aim deep and low into their corner.
Errores habituales
Hitting the side glass on their side before the bounce. Changing your preparation so they see it coming.

Preguntas
¿Es legal la bandeja paralela en el pádel?
Legal under Rule 14b as long as the ball bounces in their court before it touches their glass or mesh (Rule 13g). Touching the net or posts with your racket or body during the point loses it (Rule 13a).
