Defensive reset
A safe, neutral return played to regain your position rather than to win the point, usually high and deep or low through the middle.
Quand le jouer
When the serve has put you in trouble. At important points, when a safe return matters more than a winner.
Comment le jouer
Pick the biggest target: deep through the middle or a high lob. Swing smoothly, with more margin over the net. Recover your position with your partner straight away.
Erreurs fréquentes

Le coup defensive reset est-il autorisé au padel ?
Legal under Rule 8.1 on the return and Rule 12.3 in a rally: play the ball before its second bounce, and it is good if it lands in the opponents' court, directly or off your own walls (Rule 14.1b).
