One of the questions asked by our readers. How high are able to jump WPT players? A very good question that includes several parameters but that we will try to deal with. Outstanding physical qualities in these professional players that allow them to reach heights worthy of basketball players.

One of the first factors to consider is physical preparation. If you focus on the thighs of some players, you will find that they are sometimes forced to pull up their shorts so they are big. It is even said that Bela has her shorts cut on the sides to be more comfortable.

Then the natural size. Most of the players on the left exceed 1.80m which makes it a little easier to recover high balls.

Relaxation. It works especially with the thighs and calves. We can say that some players have a dry relaxation of almost 1 meter, real athletes. This marker you have it with the height of the net which is on average of 90cm.

Finally, another benchmark to calculate the height would be the side grid. From a height of 3 meters, we see the players exceed it.

Finally to answer the question of the height at which the players are able to touch a ball, between the trigger, the waist, the arm extended and the pala, we reach a vertiginous height of 3m50. As much to tell you that the smashes made by the heavy hitters who return to the camp must pass almost 4 meters above the net area ... Bestial
