Demonstration video coming soon

Instructions

  1. 1Clamp the ball and immediately choose an exit: rake back, pop up, or jump the ball.
  2. 2Keep your base wide and low through the exit to fight off wing pressure.
  3. 3Control the ball into a protected cradle within two steps.
  4. 4Rotate through all three exits evenly across the set.

What to focus on

Choosing the exit that matches the opponent's counter, not a fixed favorite.

Common mistake

Standing upright immediately after the clamp, losing leverage to the wing player.
