Para realizar [el golpe liftado de derecha] con la garantía de llevar ese efecto que produzca la rapidez y la entrada en pista que buscamos, debemos realizar una sacudida fuerte de muñeca, en el sentido ascendente en que queramos mandar la pelota, justo en el impacto. Esta sacudida de muñeca es la que le va a permitir a la bola adquirir ese giro hacia delante que posteriormente se traducirá en un efecto de sacudida, de intento de escapada de la pista contraria, que le proporcionará alguna dificultad a nuestro oponente. [...] Hay muchos alumnos noveles que cuando intentan realizar un golpe liftado, simplemente raspan la pelota hacia arriba, pero no dan impacto ni dan giro de muñeca, con lo que la pelota sólo avanza unos metros y se les queda delante de las narices. Debemos dar un impacto potente, un giro de muñeca brusco, en el momento del impacto [...] 1, record 9, Spanish, - sacudida%20fuerte%20de%20mu%C3%B1eca
