Down the line
A ball hit straight along the side wall instead of across the court. It travels a shorter distance and can catch a net player leaning to the middle.
Quando a jogar
When the net player in front of you moves towards the middle. As a passing shot after a weak volley.
Como a jogar
Get to the ball early and stay side on. Aim low over the net near the post, inside the court. Recover quickly: a missed paralelo leaves your side open.
Erros comuns
Forgetting that the net is higher near the posts, so the ball needs a little more height. Hitting the side glass on their side before the bounce, which loses the point.

Perguntas
A paralelo é legal no padel?
Legal like any rally ball under Rule 14.1b. If it hits their side glass or fence before it bounces, you lose the point (Rule 13.1g); after the bounce it may run into the walls (Rule 14.1c).
