OVERHEAD

Attack overheads are the shot of choice to hit on short lobs, meaning your feet are inside the service line. Your target is your opponents backhand screen. Do not over hit, you should try to hit just hard enough so the ball hits the side screen first and just reaches the back screen. Remember this is not a "winner" so don't stand and watch, get into position and be ready for your next shot.

• for attack overhead into ad court side back screen, aim like shooting a bow and arrow
• exaggerate left shoulder turn
• from ready position
• turn shoulders
• both arms go up-compact motion
• right foot drops back, completing the turn (left foot if left handed)
• take many small adjustment steps-staying sideways
• position body behind ball
• point of contact in front of hitting shoulder
• weight moves forward
   
• move paddle forward and through on line with target
• complete follow through to opposite thigh
• return quickly to ready position
