For when the lob is too good and you couldn’t smash it in time, so have to run back and drop it back into the kitchen.
Is actually easier than it looks. Because the ball is high, once it drops, it will lose a lot of it’s spin. And it won’t have a lot of pace. So it’s a lot easier reset than your regular 5th shot reset or 3rd shot drop where the return is coming back faster, and with more spin.
Just scoop the ball up and send it towards the middle of the net.
Priority Checklist
- Out Run The Ball First.
- Don’t reach out and hit the ball with your paddle while you are still way behind the ball. Let the ball bounce, it’ll slow down a lot after it bounces. You can easily out run it and get behind the ball. no need to rush to hit it. – Paraphrasing Jilly Bill
- Reset It Middle
- Lowest part of the net, most margin for error. Least amount of angles opponent can attack on you if it’s a little high. And also easiest for your teammate to cover and attack if opponent pops it up high.
