Off the back glass: forehand
Let the ball go past you, read the rebound off the back glass, then play it back over the net. The skill that makes padel different from tennis.
Quand le jouer
On any deep ball you cannot play comfortably before it reaches the glass. When a lob has gone over you and the glass gives you time. Whenever rushing would mean a weak shot.
Comment le jouer
Turn side on to the glass early, as if walking alongside the ball. Let it rebound, move with it and wait for it to drop. Hit it on its way down, low over the net or as a lob.
Erreurs fréquentes
Backing into the glass and getting stuck. Hitting the ball as it comes off the wall, before it drops. Facing the glass instead of turning side on.

Le coup salida de pared est-il autorisé au 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).
