Topspin forehand
A forehand with forward spin that makes the ball dip after crossing the net and kick forward after the bounce.
Wann du ihn spielst
To dip the ball at the feet of net players. For passing shots that need to drop quickly.
So spielst du ihn
Start the swing below the ball and brush up and forward. Keep the wrist relaxed and finish high. Aim higher over the net than with a flat ball; the spin brings it down.
Typische Fehler
Too much spin and no depth, so the ball lands short and sits up. Heavy topspin into the back glass, which comes back fast and high for the opponents.

Ist der Schlag topspin forehand im Padel erlaubt?
Legal under Rule 12.3: play the ball after one bounce, off the glass if you like, before it bounces again. It must reach the opponents' court, directly or off your own walls (Rule 14.1b), and must not hit their walls or fence first (Rule 13.1g).
