Rally & Roam

Contrapared off the back wall

Hitting the ball into your own back or side glass so it rebounds over the net. Legal, difficult and nearly always a last resort.

När du ska slå det

When the ball has got past you and there is no other way to return it. Very occasionally as a surprise from the corner.

Så slår du det

Hit upwards into your own glass with an open racket face. Give it enough height to clear the net after the rebound. Get back into position: the return is usually weak.

Vanliga misstag

Choosing it when a lob was possible. Hitting it too low, so it lands on your own side.

Frågor

Är contrapared tillåten i padel?

Legal under Rule 14b, which allows a return that hits your own wall first and then bounces in their court. You lose the point if the ball touches your own mesh or floor after your hit (Rule 13l), or reaches their glass or mesh before bouncing (Rule 13g).
