Fast and flat
A direct ball with little spin and more pace, flying low over the net to rush the opponents.
Quando giocarlo
On a high, comfortable ball when the opponents are slow to react. Through a gap, or at an opponent who is out of position. To finish a rally after a weak reply.
Come giocarlo
Meet the ball in front of your body with a flat face. Swing through the ball in the direction of the target. Aim low over the net so it stays down.
Errori comuni
Hitting flat from below net height, which needs a lot of margin. Overusing pace against a pair who block well at the net. Hitting so hard the ball comes off the back glass high.
