Defending vivora vs bandeja bounce differences and positioning.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How does spin affect the bounce of overhead shots off the glass?
A vivora with side spin stays closer to the wall and doesn't "open" as much as a flatter bandeja or rulo, requiring different defensive positioning.

What Your Guru Thinks

Understanding how different overhead shots react off the glass is crucial for good defense. The coaches in this lesson explain the key difference in bounce between a vivora with side spin and a flatter bandeja or rulo. By recognizing how the spin affects the ball after the wall, you can adjust your positioning correctly. This insight will help you anticipate the ball's path and improve your backhand defense significantly.
