Re(1): "Home run ball" - fact or fiction?

Posted on May 18, 2014 at 08:34:13 AM by Bennett

If you're talking about a home run WITH one bounce on the floor then I have seen it many times. That's often referred to as a home run....front wall, back wall, bounce on floor, front wall....without your opponent being able to get to the ball.

If you are talking about going front wall to back wall and then to front wall again WITHOUT A BOUNCE...I say that is impossible. Maybe if there was no overhead screen at all, then someone could throw a low rising shot that climbs even after hitting the back wall and somehow has enough to get to the front wall. But with where the overhead screens are on the canchas in the U.S. I say it cannot be done.
