Improve volley reaction with proper ready position at the net.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How can I improve my reaction time for volleys at the net?
Maintain a ready position with the racket in front by using the "elbows on the table" analogy, and primarily use shoulder and hip rotation for preparation rather than arm movement.

What Your Guru Thinks

This information is quite useful for improving your reaction speed when playing close to the net. The coach offers a simple way to think about your ready position, comparing it to having your elbows on a table. Being properly ready, especially when the pace picks up, lets you rely on quicker movements from your shoulders and hips instead of slower arm swings. This is key to blocking effectively and not being late on those fast exchanges.
