What is a Vibora in Padel?
A vibora ("viper" in Spanish) is an aggressive overhead shot in padel hit with topspin and side-spin so it bites the wall and skids low. More attacking than a bandeja but less risky than a full smash.
Example in a match
Your opponents lob you. You hit a vibora that hits the back wall low and fast — they can't return it.
