Slow serve
A deliberately gentle serve that breaks the receiver's rhythm and gives you more time to reach the net.
Wanneer je hem speelt
Against receivers who return better off pace. When you need time to get forward after serving.
Zo speel je hem
Swing slowly with a relaxed grip and lift the ball a little higher over the net. Aim deep in the box so the slower ball still pushes them back. Follow it in and set your feet before the return.
Veelgemaakte fouten
Serving slowly and short, which invites an attack. Slowing the serve and then staying at the back.

Is de slow serve toegestaan in padel?
Legal under Rule 6: the rules set the contact height and the landing area, not the pace. It still has to bounce in the diagonal box (Rule 7.1c).
