Returning Jams and Wraps
 

Jams and wraps are easy to return once you begin to recognize a pattern. The jam serve usually hits the sidewall close to the short line and shoots straight into your body. Take a step back and away from the approaching ball and stride into the ball with your return if time allows.

The wrap hits the sidewall deeper, by the dotted line, or deep and wraps around to the side of the court. After recognizing the wrap pattern, pivot and turn with the ball. Follow the serve to the other side and return it like a slower fly drive serves.

Do not turn your back to the wrap and try to pick it up after it crosses behind you because you might lose it on its backwall flight path. Turn your entire body and follow the flight of the ball. Change your grip if the ball is going from the left sidewall to the right sidewall during the body turn and pivot. Keep your eyes on the ball and use your peripheral to locate your opponent. Base on your read, return with the highest percentage shot possible under these variables.
