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.
Quando a jogar
When the serve has put you in trouble. At important points, when a safe return matters more than a winner.
Como a jogar
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.
Erros comuns
Trying for a winner from a bad position. Playing it so softly that the server volleys a winner.

Perguntas
A defensive reset é legal no 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).
