Back-glass rebound + bandeja

Let the deep ball pass, take it off the glass, then answer a lob with a sliced overhead.

Video walkthrough

Coming soon

The on-court video for this drill is in production. The full step-by-step is below — and our in-depth guide goes deeper still.

How to do it

1On a deep ball, let it pass you and bounce — wait for the glass rebound, then play it.
2For the bandeja: turn side-on, elbow up, and slice down and forward — control, not power.
3Recover forward to the net after the overhead; don’t get stuck at the back.

Coaching cue

Let the ball pass — wait, then hit. Same slice every time.
