⭐ HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SLIDE ATTACK ⭐
One of the biggest differences between a slide approach and a regular approach is what your ARMS are doing. 🏐
When you’re hitting a slide, you’re literally running after the ball. That means you should be pumping your arms like you’re sprinting instead of throwing both arms back like a traditional approach.
To maximize your jump:
✅ Drive your plant foot into the ground HEEL TO TOE
✅ Push explosively off the ball of your foot
✅ Drive your right knee up aggressively to help create lift and power
And don’t forget about your LEFT ARM!
Your left arm should reach high toward the ball to help you:
⭐ Stay tall through contact
⭐ Create better body control
⭐ Generate more rotational power in the air
Another key: jump UP first.
The more vertical you can stay through contact, the more control you’ll have over your swing. After contact, let your momentum carry you out of the attack.
Simple formula:
🏐 Run hard
🏐 Push against the ground
🏐 Swing fast
If your slide is set off the net, don’t force a sharp angle. Most slides only see one solid blocker, so look for:
⭐ A deep swing to the back court
⭐ A well-placed tip
⭐ Open court opportunities
Smart hitters score more points than predictable hitters. 💜
