Fourth-Ball Decision Making by Height
Summary
Tanner boils fourth-ball choices down to contact height. Below the knees, concede it — that ball is too low to attack or force.
At waist height, roll it to keep pressure without overhitting. At chest height, slap it and take the offensive look the height gives you.
Key takeaways
- Below knees: concede
- Waist: roll
- Chest: slap
Action items
- Have a partner feed fourth balls at three heights and call the choice before contact
- Play transition points where you may only attack chest-high balls
