Stop bending your waist!
On resets, bending at the waist opens the paddle face. Get into the legs instead so both paddle and body absorb pace and the ball stays low — even a slight knee bend beats folding at the hips.
Action items:
- Cue “legs, not waist” on every reset
- Film side-on: check for hip hinge vs knee bend
- Partner soft drives; practice absorbing with legs
