Running forehand
A forehand played on the move while reaching wide. Keep it simple: cross-court, with margin.
Cuándo jugarlo
When you are pulled wide and cannot set your feet. When a ball off the side glass comes out further than expected.
Cómo jugarlo
Take small steps as you arrive so you can adjust. Shorten the swing and play cross-court, over the low middle of the net. Recover towards the middle straight after.
Errores habituales
Going for a winner down the line on the run. Running past the ball and hitting it late.

Preguntas
¿Es legal la running forehand en el pádel?
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).
