Short lob
The mistake to avoid: a lob that lands short of the opponents and gives them an easy smash.
Wanneer je hem speelt
Never on purpose. Recognising it helps you defend the smash that comes next.
Zo speel je hem
If your lob is short, move back with your partner straight away. Stand away from the back glass and get ready to defend the rebound or the por tres. Next time, aim the lob higher and deeper.
Veelgemaakte fouten
Hitting the lob too low and too short. Staying at the net after a short lob, where the smash will hit you.

Is de short lob toegestaan in padel?
Legal under Rule 14b like any lob that bounces in their court. It is a description of a poor result, not a fault.
