Amortir l'impact en cassant légèrement le poignet en arrière et en ouvrant un peu le tamis. Cela permet d'annuler la vitesse de la balle et de la couper pour lui imprimer un effet rétro (ou contraire) en lui donnant juste assez de puissance pour qu'elle aille «mourir» dans le court adverse. Fléchir les genoux pour amortir encore davantage la balle. [...] Essayer de la garder une fraction de seconde au contact du cordage, pour la «porter» par-dessus le filet. 1, record 2, French, - amortir%20l%27impact
