The Bandeja is prepared with the racket higher and uses less wrist movement, resembling a waiter carrying a tray, primarily for defensive play. The Vibora is prepared with the racket behind the neck and uses more wrist action to generate side spin, making the ball move sideways after bouncing off the back wall, often used for tactical advantage.
This is a really insightful lesson if you are looking to understand the difference between the bandeja and vibora shots. Coach Max clearly explains the nuances of each shot, focusing on preparation and wrist movement. Understanding when to use a bandeja for defense and a vibora for a more angled shot can significantly improve your tactical play. Pay close attention to the visual demonstrations to really grasp the subtle differences.
