The first two put-aways by the pro in red on the right side of the screen. It’s a brush across the outside of the ball—not a high-to-low chop or classic “brush up.” Mechanic - Contact: in front, waist–shoulder high - Face: neutral/slightly closed - Path: across the outside edge (FH: right→left across; BH: left→right across) - Speed = pace: faster brush across = more pace without sailing long - Finish: across to outside shoulder/hip, not down Use it when - Shoulder-high or lower ball at the NVZ and you’re set - You want a body-line finish (hips/ribs/shoulder) or to pull the defender off their spot Skip it when - Above your strike zone (hit an overhead) - You’re off-balance or reaching (reset/place middle) Common misses → quick fixes - Into net: path went down → keep it across with neutral face - Floats long: face open → close slightly, shorten finish - Jammed: late contact → meet earlier Mini-drill (6 min) - FH (20 balls): brush-across to near-shoulder/hip; track makes/20 - BH (20 balls): two-hand OK; track - Alt 10: call “across” before contact Your turnWant this in next week’s HPT reps? Comment YES and which side (FH/BH) you want more work on.

Most players lose focus in the middle — whether it’s the match, the month, or the week.The energy fades, the routine slips, and suddenly they’re playing not to lose instead of playing to win. Mid-week is your reset points. Here's your challenge for today: 1. Pick one skill you’ve been avoiding (footwork, serve placement, recovery). 2. Commit to 30 focused reps today — no distractions, just precision. 3. Post below what you’re working on. Let’s hold each other accountable. Remember: winners don’t coast through the middle — they attack it. — Coach Thomas
