The #1 doubles strategy

Tip of the day

In today’s video, pro Kyle Koszuta emphasizes the importance of positioning at the kitchen line.

He uses a mix of stats, expert insights, and a unique experimental game to show the strategic advantage of being at the kitchen.

Kyle identifies the fear and lack of strategic knowledge as primary reasons players might hang back instead of advancing to the kitchen line.

He then dives into the "kitchen advantage," explaining how positioning at the kitchen line can give players a significant edge over their opponents.

Kyle also explains the advantages of being at the kitchen line, such as creating offensive opportunities, reducing the opponents' time to react, and applying psychological pressure.

To demonstrate these points, an experiment involving two pros and two amateurs was conducted, with varying restrictions on court positioning.

This showcased how court positioning dramatically affects gameplay.

Key Points:

  • Being at the kitchen line is crucial for controlling the game and increasing the chances of winning.

  • Teams failing to reach the kitchen line during play lose most of their points.

  • Proper court positioning allows for offensive play, reduces reaction time for opponents, and applies psychological pressure.
