Dormilona
A soft ball that drops just over the net and barely bounces, often played on a ball that has come back towards the net, such as a smash rebounding off the glass.
Cuándo jugarlo
When both opponents are deep. On a ball that has rebounded towards you close to the net.
Cómo jugarlo
Very soft hands, cushion the ball. Lift it just over the net so it falls almost straight down. Cover the angle in case they reach it.
Errores habituales
Playing it with too much pace, so it bounces up. Trying it from deep in the court.
