Revers, volée ou coup droit dont le geste est amorti au moment de l'impact avec la balle, destiné à «déposer» la balle à proximité immédiate du filet. 5, record 1, French, - amorti

L'amortie présente une trajectoire légèrement arquée qui passe près du filet et qui effectue un deuxième bond avant la ligne de service. L'intention est de surprendre l'adversaire ou de l'obliger à courir rapidement vers l'avant. On l'exécute soit à 3/4 de terrain, à mi-terrain ou au filet. 6, record 1, French, - amorti

La variante «amortie» est l'appellation la plus souvent utilisée. Selon certains puristes, «amorti» est l'action d'envoyer une balle très courte, rebondissant peu, tandis que «amortie» est la balle résultant d'un «amorti». Cette distinction n'est pas toujours respectée. Néanmoins ces deux termes sont génériques. En anglais, si l'on fait allusion à une volée avec cet effet, on n'utilise pas le terme «drop shot», mais plutôt «drop volley». On peut dire aussi que le terme «amortie» est la forme elliptique du terme «balle amortie». 7, record 1, French, - amorti

There is an extremely important design consideration when constructing and installing pull-outs in a cabinet behind doors. The European hinge, that is often used, has the ability to open in less than the space it requires for door overlap. In effect, the door mounted with these hinges opens in a space less than 5/8" which puts the edge of the door slightly inside the face frame opening. While this feature is extremely beneficial, particularly when two doors are close together, it means that a pull-out will rub or hit the door. To provent this, 1" by 2" cleats are installed on the interior of the carcass, and the drawer glides are mounted to the cleats. 3, record 2, English, - door%20overlap

contre-pied : Coup dirigeant la balle non dans la partie dégagée du court, mais dans la partie où l'adversaire se trouve, et du côté opposé à la direction de son démarrage. Il s'agit d'une arme très efficace, car il est pratiquement impossible à un joueur de repartir dans la direction inverse à celle de son premier démarrage si le coup est suffisamment rapide et soudain. «À contre-pied» : tactique qui a pour but de contrer le déplacement de l'adversaire sur le terrain. En français on utilise également le substantif «le contre-pied» là où l'anglais utilise le verbe, par exemple, deux ou trois amortis en contre-pied. Phraséologie connexe : être pris à contre-pied. 6, record 8, French, - faire%20un%20contre%2Dpied
