Chiquita After a Wall Rebound to Surprise Opponents
The Situation
You have just played a wall rebound and opponents expect you to lob.
What To Do
Instead of the expected lob after the wall rebound, drop a chiquita low at the net player's feet. The surprise factor is the weapon.
Why It Works
Opponents who expect a lob after every wall ball are leaning back. A chiquita at their feet catches them completely off balance and creates an immediate net advance opportunity. The combination works precisely because the lob is so expected, the chiquita has maximum surprise value from that position.
Court Positioning
