The bajada is a unique and effective shot in padel. It’s played from near the back glass after the ball has rebounded off it. The shot is similar to a traditional tennis serve and is executed above head height. The goal is to hit the ball downward so that it travels fast and bounces near the service line, making it difficult for your opponents to 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 counter high lobs and regain control of the net position.
