Il existe deux types de récupération de la balle : à une main ou à deux mains («one-hand dig pass» et «two-hand dig pass»). Selon l'«Oxford Companion to Sports and Games» de 1975, la récupération à une main est moins fiable qu'à deux mains et elle est presque uniquement utilisée pour récupérer la balle en plongeant, tandis que la récupération à deux mains se fait les mains jointes et les bras en extension. 4, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9cup%C3%A9ration%20de%20la%20balle
