Speed-Up Starts the Firefight — Reload Instantly
Summary
Universal Rackets reframes the speed-up: it is not meant to end the point — it starts a fast exchange. After you attack, reload instantly so you can finish the block back.
Freeze after the speed-up and you lose the point you were winning. Select the right ball, aim the proper shot, and stay ready to clean up the next ball.
Key takeaways
- Speed-up = start of a fast exchange, not a winner attempt
- Reload instantly after every attack
- Freeze after speeding up = gift the point back
Action items
- In firefight drills, only count the point if you reload after the first speed-up
- Partner feeds: attack, then must touch a recovery cone before the next ball
