Chiquita After a Wall Rebound to Surprise Opponents
The Situation
You have just played a wall rebound and opponents expect you to lob.
What To Do
Instead of the expected lob after the wall rebound, drop a chiquita low at the net player's feet. The surprise factor is the weapon.
Why It Works
Opponents who expect a lob after every wall ball are leaning back. A chiquita at their feet catches them completely off balance and creates an immediate net advance opportunity. The combination works precisely because the lob is so expected — the chiquita has maximum surprise value from that position.
Court Positioning
