Bandeja: Keep the Net with Shape & Placement
Use the bandeja as a controlled overhead that keeps your pair at net. Focus on spacing, slice shape and a target that makes the next ball awkward.
Set up
Feed lobs from the baseline. Aim each bandeja to land deep and stay low after the glass.
Home practice
Practise 2 sets of 12 shadow movements: turn, move back under control, set the racket high and recover forward.
Key cues
Move early, not fast late.
Contact comfortably in front.
Use shape and placement over power.
Progressions
Fed lobs; two target zones; then a defender who can counter-attack a short ball.
