Survive the Pressure

2 playersTested on court

A attacks at the feet, and B resets soft from further and further back.

How to play

A stands at the kitchen line and attacks with pace at B's feet. Every ball must stay in the court.
B plays resets: soft balls that take the pace off and land in front of A's feet, near the middle.
B moves to every ball but holds the set distance: first at the kitchen line, then about 1 m behind it, then about 2 m behind it.
High ball: B stays balanced and lowers the paddle, the ball will come down. A ball clearly flying out: let it go.
Points to 5: B only has to survive, A plays to win. Then swap roles.

Too easy? Too hard?

Too easy: A plays at full pace, and only resets that land in the middle count for B.

Too hard: A aims clearly at the feet and plays at moderate pace, so B can read every ball.

Good looks like: Quiet feet, a loose grip, and resets that drop low in front of A instead of popping up.

Good reps.Swap roles and go again.
