𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗹 — 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 🎾 The team at the net wins the vast majority of points, yet most club players either never get there or get there and immediately get lobbed back out. The good news is that taking the net is a set of habits, not a talent, and once you and your partner do them together the court starts to feel like yours. Start with how you come in: never storm the net behind a flat drive, because it fires straight back before you're set. Approach behind a deep lob instead, so you have time to walk up while the ball is still in the air. When you get there, resist the urge to be fancy — put your first volley deep and low so they can't attack it, then take your final steps in. Once you're up, guard the middle as a wall with your partner, because most passes go straight down the gap between you. Volley to their feet or the back fence corner, never to the chest where they can fire it back. And when they finally lob you, drop back together and reset as a pair — the fastest way to lose the net for good is to leave your partner stranded up there alone. Which part of taking the net do you lose it on most — the approach, or getting lobbed straight back out? 👇 - @biancgozmfd
