Contrapared

Contrapared is a shot in padel where the ball is hit against the back wall of the player’s own side before crossing over to the opponent’s court. This shot is typically used defensively, giving the player time to recover their position while the ball travels a longer path. Mastery of the contrapared allows players to handle difficult situations where a direct return might be challenging.
