What exactly is a Wavahop? |
A ball hit on the ground that takes an unexpected, usually sharp bounce upwards at our home practice field in Athens, Alabama...behind the Wavaho Gas Station.
While any unexpected movement can be considered a Wavahop - off to the side or even some unusual spin on the ball - most Wavahops "leap up" suddenly just before reaching the player attempting to field it. Not only are balls which take a Wavahop hard to catch, they are often dangerous and can hit a player in the face or upper body.
Wavahops can be caused by dry or wet spots on the grass or dirt, small rocks or weed clumps, or even tiny imperfections or divits on the surface of the ground. |
