In Andreas Johansson's vlog "Bandejan no one is talking about but that is equally important"He talks about one of the more underestimated battles, namely; the loose bande.
Being able to vary the Bandejan from a heavy and low Bandeja in the corner to a short and loose in the middle of the track makes the resistance constantly doubtful about what is to come. There are mainly two world stars who have built both their careers and their game of this kind and there is no less than Franco "stupa" stupaczuk and Pablo Lima.
To beat the optimal build -up Bandejan, a high ball hit in combination with a short ball track is required to ensure that the other bounce dies by rear glass. It is suitable after we press our opposition or made them sneak forward past the serve line. When we then place our short and loose Bandeja in the middle, we force the resistance to run away from its basic position which gives a gold position to build the point. It is important that the ball searches the middle between the players so that the resistance does not have a chance to get the ball in front of them and get involved. Note that the center is always moving in paddle depending on where the resistance is located.
The risk with the battle is that it comes too close to rear glasses with too high a bounce, which instead creates a counter position for the opponents. The ball must be struck flat to minimize the spin so that it dies closer to rear glass and makes it harder to get behind.
Good luck in the next paddle match!
