In this instructional padel coaching clip, the instructor identifies a frequent error in executing the bandeja—players often strike the ball too low. He demonstrates the correct contact point, urging players to raise their racket to forehead height at impact. The video includes a brief on‑court correction, showing the improved swing and confirming the higher contact feels better. The segment concludes with a promotion for The Padel School membership, offering worldwide online coaching from the instructor and Sandy Farquharson, with a call‑to‑action to visit thepadelschool.com.

So one thing we see a lot with the van decker is contacting the ball too low, and I can see over here with a player that they're contacting too low. So let's go in and let's fix it. Okay, so at the moment the contact is, is very, very low. Yeah, so if you get into your position, okay, and imagine that the ball's come up, okay, we want to contact the ball at forehead, like up here, up here. Right, okay, hi. Yeah, like forehead height. A lot of yours are coming down, down here, so we need a little bit, a little bit higher. That's it, that's nice, that's better.
