Vibora technique: body rotation and arm positioning
Key takeaway from our Guru
How can I improve my vibora technique?
Keep your left arm high to track the ball and rotate your shoulders. Turn your feet toward the corner glass to align your body for better control.
What this lesson covers
The coach addresses the vibora by focusing on the use of the non-dominant arm. Keeping the left arm high throughout the preparation and contact phase improves ball tracking and forces the shoulders to turn. This rotation creates the necessary space between the body and the ball to generate more spin and power.
Footwork serves as a primary reference point for control. Turning the feet toward the corner glass ensures the body is aligned for the shot. When moving from a net position to a defensive transition, the player must exaggerate these movements to ensure they are not performed half-heartedly. The coach emphasizes that consistent practice of these movements during match-realistic drills is the only way to integrate them into competitive play.
