Stop Giving Free Balls! Master the Aggressive Bump and Stay Dangerous
Episode 42
Monday, 17 November, 2025

Today we’re talking about a skill almost nobody trains — but every smart player needs. The aggressive bump. You can’t spike every ball, and real match situations are messy: bad sets, low balls, off-balance contacts… they happen constantly. The best players don’t panic. They adapt. In this episode, I’ll show you how the aggressive bump can turn a “lost” situation into real pressure on the opponent. You’ll learn when to use it, which mistakes you must avoid, where to place it to make defenders suffer, and how to execute it with confidence. This one skill can completely change how dangerous you are on the court — especially when things aren’t perfect. If you want to stop giving free balls and start controlling the rally even from tough situations, this episode is for you. Let’s jump in.
