Attacking One Handed Tip:

The person on the side of the mats feeds the ball to the two players opposite who communicate and pass the ball to the net for the ball to be set up for an attacking one handed tip to the mat that has not been occupied by the feeder.

This means that the attacking player needs to work on creating a good field of vision and observe where the feeder has moved to.
