Serve Path: Forward First, Then Up — Adjust Net vs Long
Summary
Universal Rackets on serve swing path: travel comes from swinging forward; lift comes from swinging up. You need both — forward first, then up.
Net on the serve → add more up. Long → add more forward. Every serve should blend forward-and-up, not pure push or pure scoop.
Key takeaways
- Forward = depth/travel; up = net clearance
- Net → more up; long → more forward
- Every serve: forward then up, not one or the other
Action items
- 20 serves: after each miss, adjust only one axis (up vs forward)
- Say “forward-then-up” on the toss for a full basket
