One of the inherent characteristics of padel that differentiates it from tennis, the closest sport, is the use of walls (side and back walls) during the game.Of course this includes the double rebound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And look how important the walls are in padel that they have even given names to the different technical executions that we perform when the ball interacts with one or two walls, such as the back wall boast or the after the wall smash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the case of this article, we will talk about the shot that is made when the ball bounces off the two walls (side <-> back), a shot that is known as “the double rebound”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For those who do not know this stroke, the double rebound is probably one of the most difficult defensive strokes to perform successfully, but mastering this stroke will be essential if we want to have a good defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We can differentiate up to 4 types of double rebound depending on which wall the ball touches first and which side of the court the ball goes to.
Thus, we can find the double rebound to the:
– Open forehand. First it hits the side wall and then the back wall.
– Closed forehand. First hit to the back wall and then to the side wall.
– Open backhand. First hit the side wall and then the back wall.
– Backhand closed. First hit the back wall and then the side wall.
Although both types of double rebounds are tricky, many pros agree that the closed double rebound is a little more difficult than the open double rebound.<\/p>\n\n\n
