Safety Length – Routine 2

Deeper dive into Safety Length.  These 4 drills focus on returning harder shots, using different stances, and returning to the T.

Remember, this is a Defensive shot that is giving you time to return to the T.

Don’t lean too far over with your upper body. Instead, bend your knees lower and stay in the posture as you hit the safety length.
