Speed Ups and Counter-Attacks

When to Speed Up - Ball sits above the net - Opponent is off-balance - You have a clear target - Ball is in your strike zone

How to Speed Up - Use a compact swing - Aim at opponent's feet or body - Follow through toward target

Counter-Attack Defense - Keep paddle up and ready - Use soft hands to absorb pace - Reset to kitchen when possible
