Half long

Strokes

Anthony Capasso Asked 10 years ago

Hi guys,

I know what long and short mean. What does half long mean?

Hi Anthony,

That is where the second bounce on the other side is close to the end line. It makes it difficult for your opponent to decide whether to attack or push or flick the ball.
