Beach Tennis- The Rainbow

We had such a great response to our last video and so many questions about the "Rainbow" shot. The Rainbow is an advanced move that was featured in our "What's your favorite Drill?" video starring Marcus Ferreira. Carolina Hannes is back to educate and demonstrate. How do you use the Rainbow? WHEN did you use the Rainbow? Watch the video to find out.

Why do a rainbow? Is it kind of a trick shot since you start w/back hand and opponent would then expect a back hand?

[@beachtennissantamonica5018]

It’s if definitely a tricky shot! And a very advanced shot as well, not easy to execute. As I mentioned on the video there’s also a very specific time where this should be used. The angle and spin you get from a rainbow it’s much harder to defend than a regular backhand

if i have a slow high ball towards my backhand, i feel strongly that i can generate strong pace with my one handed backend enough that this shot seems unnecessary

[@beachtennissantamonica5018]

This is a tricky shot! So power is not the goal of this shot. The ball gets topspin and drops making it harder to defend and the opponent has less time to react since he is not expecting a rainbow. But overuse of the rainbow makes it less efficient so sometimes backhand is okay too.
