What is a Bajada in Padel?
A bajada is an attacking shot played as the ball rebounds off the back wall — you take it on the rise and drive it back hard. One of the most aggressive shots in padel.
Example in a match
Your opponent's shot bounces off the back wall. You move forward, take it on the rise, and bajada it crosscourt.
