Attack

Opponent pops up a ball above net height. Prime opportunity. Three distinct target zones — placement over power, always.

At feet — low and controlled

Aim at the player's feet. A controlled downward shot dipping to the toes — no hard swing needed. They cannot get a paddle under it.

70% swing aimed low beats 100% power to the wrong spot. Consistently the highest-percentage putaway at any level.
