Tyr increasing the power and velocity of each strike as you go along. At this point don t get too excited.

If the ball is moving to the back, get so far in front of it (at least a step) so you will have time and room to step forward into your setup position. Don t begin your forward swing with only the hands and arms. Furthermore, a slow ball can also cost a player a rally particularly if it hits another player due to the lack of velocity required to reach the front wall. A hit striking another player due to the actions of the other player or his partner is another no-no. Penalized hindrances can also be a cause of losing a rally.
