Net vs Long: Swing More Up, or More Forward Then Up

Summary

Universal Rackets simplifies miss diagnosis: net means you need more up; long means you need more forward.

Aim through the target, then up — not “up over the net” first. Think underhand toss, bowling, or cornhole: forward through the target, then lift. Pure up floats long; pure forward dumps into the net.

Key takeaways

• Net → add up; long → add forward
• Path: through the target, then up
• Underhand-toss / bowling feel beats “lift over the tape”

Action items

• Bucket of soft feeds: say “forward-then-up” on every contact
• After each miss, call the fix (more up vs more forward) before the next ball
