Success target: 8 of 10 correct calls, executed without a panic swing.
How to run it
- 01You hold the net; partner throws or hits lobs of mixed depth over you.
- 02For each lob, call your decision out loud: "mine" (take it in the air) or "back" (turn and play it off the glass).
- 03Anything you can contact in front of your body at full stretch is "mine"; anything over your shoulder line is "back".
- 0410 lobs, then swap.
