(posted 2026-10-18). The excerpt is a solo commentary by Sandy Farquharson offering tennis instruction about the vibora shot—explaining that at lower recreational levels (around 4.5) the vibora often finishes points, but at higher levels (5.5–6+) opponents defend it (blocking or playing off the glass), so it becomes a setup shot that may require multiple viboras or subsequent plays to create a finishing opportunity.

you go through that phase of like, you're probably a 4.5 or a 5, and your vibora is designed to finish. But then as you go to a 5.5 and up to 6, it's like suddenly your opponents are defending them. Either they're blocking them or they're playing them off double glass. And, and so, you know, the level we play, for example, that the vibora is now used as a setup so that you hit a vibora with the idea that if you hit it well enough, you might be able to finish on the next ball. Or maybe It's— you might have to play 4 or 5 vibras in a point in order to get an opportunity. So, and but, but if we kind of rewind back to, you know, a lower level like 4.5, for example, that it often finishes, finishes the point.
