Overhead Like a Pro: Throw Path, Deep Bounce, Use Angles
Summary
Tanner’s 60-second overhead checklist fixes power and depth. Starting with the paddle already up kills the whip — load it behind the head like a throw and extend through.
Aim for a bounce near the baseline (about three feet), not a shallow kitchen bounce they can dig. If the ball isn’t a perfect putaway height, pull them off the court with angle for an easier next ball.
Key takeaways
- Load behind the head like a baseball throw for whip
- Deep bounce near the baseline, not shallow
- Imperfect height → angle them off the court

- Lob feeds: 10 overheads aiming bounce inside the last three feet
- Alternate deep putaway vs angled short when the lob is lower
