|
|
|
| | One of the quickest ways to lose control of a point and pop the ball up is falling into the short hop trap.

You know the pace is picking up, but are your hands fast enough to counter it?
To thrive in this faster era of the sport, you must stop simply reacting to speedups and start anticipating them. This breakdown of anticipation, preparation, and crisp mechanics will turn your hands into the great equalizer, allowing you to absorb power and dominate the net. |
