Fake lob
Shape up as if to lob, then play a lower ball such as a chiquita or a drive, or the other way round.
Quando a jogar
When the net players start backing off as soon as you prepare to lob. When the net players crowd the net.
Como a jogar
Show the same preparation for both shots. Change the racket face and swing only at the last moment. Use it rarely so it stays a surprise.
Erros comuns
Making the preparation so different that it gives the game away. Using it every point.

Perguntas
A fake lob é legal no padel?
Legal: the fake is only movement, and the shot is judged like any other under Rule 14. You must still strike the ball once, in one movement (Rules 13i and 14h).
