The “dormilona” in padel is a spectacular and technically challenging shot. It involves making a cushioned hit on an opponent’s smash that has hit the back wall, causing the ball to fall just behind the net with a backspin. The goal is to make the ball “sleep” or come to a stop, making it very difficult for the opponent to return.
This shot requires excellent timing, positioning, and a high level of skill, and is often executed by advanced players. It’s a move that can leave both opponents and spectators in awe due to its elegance and effectiveness.
Here is a perfect execution from Ale Galan in the Kuwait P1 Padel Tournament
