Master the chiquita shot to win net position strategically.
🏆
Your #1 Takeaway
How should I effectively use the chiquita to gain the net position in Padel?
Use the chiquita strategically by reading your opponents' positioning and weaknesses, playing a slow, low shot to their feet to force a weak return, and immediately moving forward with your partner to dominate the net. Consider opponent height, volley skills, and your own court position to decide when to use it, mixing it with lobs to keep opponents guessing.
