Vibora technique: brush for control and depth

What this lesson covers

The coach addresses a common issue where the vibora becomes a push rather than a controlled strike. The lesson focuses on generating spin by keeping the racket head close to the head during preparation and maintaining a loose wrist. A drill using only two fingers on the grip helps the player feel the necessary relaxation to brush the back of the ball. This produces a shot that dies quickly after the second bounce, preventing the opponent from attacking off the glass.

Technique adjustments include keeping the chest stable and extending the follow-through forward rather than cutting it short. The coach emphasizes using the same racket speed for different types of viboras, varying the result through the amount of brush and spin applied. The player practices hitting to the middle and down the line to force opponents to stretch or deal with difficult rebounds. This approach is most effective for players looking to transition from a single, predictable vibora to a tactical toolset that includes soft, spin-heavy shots and aggressive, flat variations.
