Get lightning fast hands

Tip of the day

This live coaching session focuses on developing quick hands through stable posture and paddle control.

The instructor uses a visualization of balancing water to keep the body still during fast exchanges.

Maintaining a strong posture helps players react faster without breaking their form.

The video demonstrates drills for isolating forehand and backhand counters with a partner.

You will learn how to punch the ball through the target rather than using a slicing motion.

Limiting the range of motion of the arm ensures the paddle stays in the correct position.

Using a water bottle as a physical constraint forces players to rely on their hands rather than their arms.

Key points

Keeping the head and torso still allows the hands to move with more speed and precision.
Posture should remain upright even when the pace of the ball increases at the net.
Drilling repetitive forehand or backhand counters builds the muscle memory needed for fast exchanges.
Punching through the ball provides better direction and pace than trying to add spin.
Restricting arm movement with physical cues ensures the paddle stays ready for the next shot.

Other that than, I’m good 🤣
