Understanding and playing the controlled bajada shot

🏆 Your #1 Takeaway

How should I play the controlled bajada shot in padel?

Play the controlled bajada from the back of the court after the ball hits the back glass, using a continental grip, rotating your body, hitting in front at the highest point possible with some slice, and aiming for strategic areas like the middle or a player out of position to turn a defensive situation into an offensive one.
