Padel World Press .- One more week, from the prestigious firm they have offered us a great article, a report made with the objective that all the fans can perform better on the track.

"The balloon is one of the fundamental blows in the paddle, even to the point that players of all levels base their game on it. Training is vital because the percentage of use during the game is very high.
Although as the level of players is higher, its use is reduced by the risk of leaving a gift, the truth is that its use is essential and, from the beginning, you must know how to use them and know all the resources that generate our game.
The main function of the globe is to surpass the opposite when it is in the position of the network, although it is not the only purpose. The balloon is also used to disarm the opponent's position when he is attacking, causing him to make displacements and access to play the ball from more difficult positions.
For a correct execution of the balloon we must take into account that its quality will increase as we are able to take a correct position and execute the stroke with intensity of play. We will take the lateral position, pivoting on our foot and doing a slightly lowered preparation. The arm will continue with the elbow close to our body and the rest of the body performing a more pronounced flexion. From this point we will throw the arm towards the optimal hitting position by pushing the ball with the arm and accompanying it with the extension of the body. We must remember that it is very important to tell the ball the direction we want it to take, so when in a blow to the opponent's volley we push forward, in the balloon we must transmit that it must go up. The body and the paddle will project upwards in the direction in which we wish the ball to go, performing a high termination above the head and returning to the waiting position.
From here, with a correct execution a huge range of possibilities opens up and, most importantly, an option to generate uncertainty in the very valuable contrary. From different heights and different angles, we can generate many variants that will make the opponent must execute from a position of disadvantage and with a compromised balance. We can use from the high balloon, which is close to the wall preventing the opponent can counterattack to the balloon with little angle and height that will make your reaction time is short and the inability to run the ball comfortably.
We must also take into account the opponent we face, since we must try to orient the balloons towards the opponent who has less options to finish the point at the moment of responding to our balloon, as well as try to run balloons on the reverse of the opposites since in any of the cases we will have fewer options to counterattack and be able to take the initiative in the point.
TIP: We must not fall into the temptation of wanting to surpass the opposite in each globe, since it makes us risk a lot at the moment of its execution. We must train to throw balloons of all depths and directions, even knowing that he will always return them to us.
So you know, to practice many balloons in your game, the more you put it into practice much better will go out.
Enjoy the paddle!
