Vibora technique: impact point and body rotation

What this lesson covers

The vibora requires a high point of impact to force the ball downward toward the ground. Players often make the mistake of hitting the ball too far in front with a fully extended arm, which causes the hand to lose power and control. Instead, the racket should prepare above the ball to allow for a downward strike. This creates more spin and speed while maintaining a safe trajectory.

To execute this, keep the ball closer to the body rather than reaching out. Focus on hitting the right side of the ball to generate the necessary effect. Practicing this motion toward the back glass helps in closing the racket movement correctly. Once the technique is consistent, vary the direction of the shot between crosscourt, middle, and down the line to keep opponents guessing. This variety prevents rivals from anticipating the placement and allows for better court coverage.
