Adapt your technique to different ball speeds.

🏆 #1 Takeaway - How should I adjust my game when opponents hit faster shots?
Maintain your fundamental technique but adapt your footwork and timing to match the increased pace of the ball.

What Your Guru Thinks

This provides a useful way to think about handling varying speeds in the game. The coach uses a great analogy of dancing to different music speeds to explain how your core technique stays the same. It highlights the importance of footwork and preparation as you adjust to the pace. Understanding this concept can help you feel more comfortable when your opponents hit harder shots.
