How to Beat Bangers
Neutralize hard-hitting "bangers" by resetting pace and picking your moment to counterattack.
Take the sting out of their game
Bangers win when you play their game. The goal isn't to out-hit them — it's to absorb the pace and force them into the soft game where power stops working.
Keys
- Soften your hands — block and reset the fast ball into the kitchen
- Give ground when needed — a step back buys reaction time on the hardest balls
- Stay compact — punch volleys, don't swing
- Counter the over-hit — when they sail one long or high, that's your ball to attack
