Resetting During a Firefight at the Net

I wanted to share these great tips from Callie Smith about How To Reset If You Get Into a Firefight At The Net.

  • Get into ready position: knees bent, feet about shoulder-width apart and on the balls of your fee

  • Keep your paddle tip above your wrist

  • Meet the ball with your paddle out in front, don’t punch at the ball

  • Bring your elbows up and away from your body, bringing the paddle closer to your chest

The result should be a soft, un-attackable ball that bounces safely in the kitchen. This is a great way to neutralize speed-ups and drives and get back to dinking.
