In short, it is a complete selection of tips and tricks with which paddle fans can learn to be more efficient in each game.
After reviewing basics Regarding the most common types of beating, we have begun to learn something more complex but also have a great influence on the development of any commitment, such as the reverse two hands, which we talked about last week. In this particular case, we will focus on analyzing a very recurrent defensive blow in all duels: The balloon. The truth is that it is very important that we master it perfectly as it will help us avoid giving opportunities to our rivals.
How to make a balloon in paddle
It's fair to start saying that the balloon is one of the most executed blows in the development of a padel match. Used in a very usual way in clashes between professionals, at a defensive level it will be a very recurrent way out to recover the position within the track and not to give advantages to our rivals, something fundamental to finish achieving the victory.
However, a balloon can be risky if we do not execute it correctly because we can give the opposing couple the option of attacking us with a shot and taking a direct point. For this reason, Do not hesitate when doing it it will become the first advice to take into account.
To a perfect balloon We will have to strictly follow a series of simple technical recommendations, but we should not forget:
- First, It is vital to flex the legs and wait for the ball from below, with the shovel placed in a position that allows us to hit it from bottom to top. This is because this hit is a response to balls that come too low or close to the wall.
- For his part, the armed must be short and the flat beating, avoiding the effects and without using much the wrist. In this way we will give the ball a straight line, which is what interests us to make it more difficult to answer.
- Finally, and as we already know, the objective of this play is fundamentally to prevent rivals from going up to the net ... That is why it is important send the ball about three meters from the bottom of the track and as vertical as we can, so that the rebound with the wall is minimal and we make it difficult for a possible Smash. It is also recommended send the crossed balloons, by giving us a greater margin so that we do not go too far.
Still, play with the height and direction of the blow It will be interesting to attack the weaknesses of the opponent and is that, for example, with a parallel balloon we will do a lot of damage to a player who does not finish well or who does not make good trays.
