Stop Rushing the Bounce

Summary

Kyle Koszuta’s ‘Stop Rushing the Bounce’: many errors come from taking the ball too early out of anxiety. Let it come into the zone, move feet to the bounce, then strike. Rushing creates open faces and pop-ups.

Key takeaways

• Let the bounce come to you
• Feet to the bounce, then swing
• Early anxiety = pop-ups
• Patience is a technique skill

Action items

• Drops/dinks: verbal ‘bounce’ before swing
• Partner feeds; punish early lunges
• Film contact vs bounce timing
• Cue: ‘wait for it’
