Chop Consistency
Partner loops, you chop every ball back to the same spot. Focus on varying the spin amount — heavy and light chops alternating.
Chop-to-Counter Transition
Chop 3 balls, then on the 4th, step in and attack. Develops the explosive counter-attack Walls use to catch opponents off guard.
Spin Variation Drill
Mix heavy chop, no-spin chop, and fast push. Partner must read the spin before attacking. Develops the Wall's main weapon: confusion.
