Defending overhead shots off back wall based on spin.
🏆
Your #1 Takeaway
How does spin affect defending overhead shots off the back wall?
Side spin on shots like the vibora causes the ball to die more after hitting the back wall, requiring deeper positioning than defending flat shots or bandeijas which rebound more.
What Your Guru Thinks
This covers a key aspect of defending high shots off the back wall. The coach explains how the spin on a vibora makes the ball react differently compared to a flat shot or a bandeja. Understanding this difference is crucial for positioning and timing your shot correctly. It helps you anticipate the bounce and avoid being surprised by low balls. You will see why you need to move differently depending on the opponent's shot.
