THE SPEED DRIVE GUIDE: SINGLE-BLOW SPEED DRIVE™
Lev’s Vector Reversal™: A Coach’s Technical Guide for Advanced Players
From the essay
Lev's Vector Reversal™ is an advanced deceptive speed-drive maneuver in which the player presents one expected outgoing line and then, at the last practical moment, changes the paddle-ball relationship so the ball leaves on a different or opposite vector. In simple language, the opponent sees the shot as if it is going one way. The hitter allows that expectation to form. Then the paddle arrives on the opposite side of the ball, the upper-center of the paddle face takes the ball as a clean single contact, and a fast hand rotation sends the ball into the unprotected vector.
