Padel World Press .- We are playing a game, the opponents give me a drop and I run towards the ball with the intention of returning it ... As I see that I am not going to get there for just a few centimeters, I decide to drop the paddle and throw it against the ball with which I get it shovel makes contact with the ball ... And that it passes to the opposite track almost dead, winning the point !!
At that time, rivals claim that the point should be for them as they claim that it is not allowed to hit the ball in that way.
Who wins the point?
a) My opposites. The ball can not be hit by throwing the shovel.
b) If the cord of the blade is released from my wrist, the opposites win. If the cord is not released, then the point is for us.
c) I win. Nothing in the rules prevents hitting the ball by throwing our weapon.
d) It is let and the point has to be repeated.
CORRECT ANSWER:
a) My opposites. The ball can not be hit by throwing the shovel.
It is a simple case and without too much discussion although not everyone seems to have it clear. The Rule 13.k say what: "A pair will lose the goal: If he touches the ball, throwing the shovel against it".
Therefore, it is not necessary to think about whether the shovel has been released or not from the wrist, or any other issue. The regulation states that just touching the ball without it being in contact with the hand already means losing the point.
By the way: It should not be forgotten that, according to the rules, the use of the cord to attach the shovel to the wrist is mandatory ... And that is something that many people forget quite often.
