🏆 #1 Takeaway - How should I return the serve after it comes off the back glass?
You can use a low half volley aimed at the opponent's feet when they are far from the net or rushing, or a lob when the server is close to their glass or opponents are close to the net, letting the ball slow down off the glass before hitting.

What Your Guru Thinks

Understanding how to handle the ball after it comes off the back glass is crucial for taking control of the point.
