The vibora shot in padel is an advanced technique used to apply spin and precision while maintaining an aggressive approach. It is similar to the bandeja but executed with more speed and sidespin, making it harder for opponents to return effectively.
How to execute the vibora shot
- Positioning: Typically played when receiving a lob while still close to the net.
- Grip: Use a continental grip to control the spin and direction.
- Swing: Hit the ball with a slicing motion, brushing the side to generate spin.
- Aim: Target low angles to keep the ball bouncing away from opponents.
