Vibora in Padel

40 free videos on technique, drills and tips, each tagged by level

What coaches agree on

  • Prepare with the racket behind your head (or a touch higher), face closed, as you turn side-on to the ball.
  • Brush around the outside of the ball rather than hitting it flat - that is what puts the side spin and slice on the shot that makes it curve and stay low.
Show more
  • Raise your non-dominant arm early and keep it up, tracking the ball, instead of letting it drop - it drives your shoulder turn and timing.

Common mistakes

  • Not getting back behind the ball quickly enough forces a late, cramped contact, so the ball pops up instead of staying low - and sometimes forces you to jump for it.
  • Trying to hit the vibora at full power is a common mistake - most players, even pros, get a more accurate and consistent shot around 60-80% speed.

The #1 Mistake Players Make Against the Vibora

Reviewer Good coaching duo, real drill shown — just aimed more at defending it than hitting it.

Moderator This is mostly a defense-against-the-vibora video, but it does open with the actual technique of the shot itself ('the technique for a vibora is when the players hit a slice smash... brush round the ball... bit of slice, bit of side spin'), so a learner comes away understanding what the shot is and how it's struck, even though 80% of the runtime is on reading and defending it rather than hitting it. Solid partial coverage, not squarely about executing the vibora yourself.

Reviewer Smart on shot selection, thin on the vibora stroke itself.

Moderator More about shot selection than the vibora stroke itself. The whole thrust is that right-court players rarely hit a vibora and should play a bandeja instead. Covers the vibora but mostly to say when NOT to use it.
