Got a hard poppy paddle? Don’t reset with paddle pointing up because it’s not going to drop in, your paddle is way too poppy.
Instead aim make the reset low going fast over the middle of the net. If it’s low and fast, it basically acts like a drive and you can shake and bake off of it.
A reset drive is like a return
- Little backswing
- You are just pushing the ball and using the incoming momentum to hit it back. Like a return.
- You aren’t trying for a winner.
- Hit it towards middle of net
- More margin for error and less angles for opponent.
- Also chance to cause confusion among opponents.
