The bajada in padel is a tactical shot used when retrieving a lob near the back wall. The player hits the ball as it descends, typically with a slice or flat stroke, aiming to keep it low and direct it back to the opponent’s court with speed and control.
The bajada is an attacking shot that forces your opponents to either sprint forward to block the ball before it bounces or get into position to deal with a fast-moving rebound off the back glass. It’s a great way to turn a defensive position into an offensive opportunity!
