Universal Rackets lists three anti-popup checks: grip so the face is not aimed upward, push/kiss the ball instead of swinging, and contact out in front (take it in the air or move your feet) — not jammed off the bounce into the body.

• Look down at grip: face not tilted up
• Cue “push, don’t hit” on soft kitchen balls
• Prefer out-front contact; move feet rather than reach late
