Teloframe OfficialReviewed by Teloframe

Press and Win in a Tight Space

Spring the trap fast in the tight space. Close instantly to force the square ball, and jump the lane the moment it is played to win it back.

Setup & instructions

As the base, but in a squeezed area. Emphasise an instant curved press to force the square pass and a quick jump to intercept. Everything is faster; keep the reps short and sharp. Rotate the roles.
