I thought I knew all recovery shots by now from reading several books on that subject (and needing them fairly often ;-) but the third shot was actually knew to me. Will try that out. I normally use the left handed swing which normally works out okay-ish but I can see that the 3rd shot will help with judging the distance better.

I can bank in 3 pointers lefty or righty, but if I'd try that shot left handed I'd miss thrice then hit the tree, me, or both. Can't make contact left handed AT ALL.

Go to is the backhanded shot. Have used that a bunch in tournaments.

Also never seen option 3, but am digging it.

Love recovery shots... can be real feeling hurters when done right.

The third is awesome, I will definitely add to the arsenal. I love the backhand... my go to as well.

My results have been very similar to all previous posts.

I'm with you Mike I miss more than I strike the ball. Back handed works ok......but that third option is the first time I have ever seen that.

That will get a shot when I have the opportunity.

Note to Geoff: Never play Manzella for money.

I concur I gave done 1 and 2 but never saw or though of 3, cool something else to practice.

What was the AOA on the third shot?
