Regole di questo colpo
Domande
La two-handed backhand è regolare nel padel?
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). Nothing in the rules limits how many hands you use on the racket.
