Return neutraliser
Success target: 7 of 10 returns are unattackable (at the feet or over the net player).
How to run it
- 01Partner serves at match pace and follows in to the net.
- 02You may only return two ways: low at the incoming server's feet, or a lob past the service line.
- 03Call which one you're playing before the serve comes.
- 0410 returns, then swap roles.
Why it works
The return decides whether you start the point defending or neutral — a returner with two reliable options is never rushed.
