Dejada as the return of serve

Ya Tiger it sounds crazy but like I said Montilla #60 back in the day was very good at this. If he could catch the serve on his right side there was a good chance he would throw that dejada right then and there from the back wall. It was a pretty amazing shot and he would even hit the side wall before the front wall sometimes because it would kill all momentum on the ball and basically the returner had no shot of catching up with the pelota because it would DIE as soon as it took that first bounce. He didnt have much power so he had to be tricky when he was playing singles and usually had a pretty decent ITM percentage.
