Hints for this Quiz

Think: what do we hit the ball with? It’s not the wall and not the court.
"pala" = the padel racket. Don’t confuse it with "pared" (wall) or "pista" (court).
Look at the whole playing area, not just the wall.
"pista" = court. "pared" = wall; "red" = net.
The palm is facing forward – that’s usually a forehand (derecha).
"derecha" = stroke on your dominant side (similar to a forehand). "revés" = with the back side of the racket (backhand).
The ball flies in a high arc – it’s not a shot at the net.
"globo" = a high, lob shot to send the ball over your opponents.
Imagine a “tray” (bandeja): you keep the ball under control, you don’t hit as hard as possible.
"bandeja" = a soft, controlled overhead shot in padel; "remate" = a powerful smash.
Think of the English word “reserve” or “book a court” – it’s very similar in Spanish.
"reservar" = to reserve / book (a time / court).
It’s the glass wall of the court.
In padel you can play off the glass wall: that’s the "pared".
