Even if you're just moving up/forward a small amount, it can then feel more natural to push forward, rather than from a static start. | |

I often see players straightening back up quite soon, though, early enough that they end up being quite still in their almost-upright position for perhaps a second or so before hitting the ball—wouldn’t that rather counterbalance the motion you get from the straightening-up movement itself? | |
