Slice return
A return hit with backspin so it stays low over the net and skids after the bounce, making the server volley up.
Quando giocarlo
Against a server who closes in fast. When the serve comes in low.
Come giocarlo
Open the racket face slightly and swing from high to low. Keep the swing short and the wrist firm. Aim low over the net, ideally at the incoming server's feet.
Errori comuni
Swinging too long so the return floats. Chopping down so steeply that it hits the net.

La slice return è regolare nel padel?
