5 shots you need to master! 🤌
Tip of the day
Today’s video begins by emphasizing the importance of a consistent and effective serve. Develop a routine for the serve and ensure the paddle face is correctly aligned at the point of contact.
For the return, the video highlights the need for early setup and preparation, forward momentum, and a full follow-through to ensure depth and control.
The third shot drop is discussed next, emphasizing allowing space and time for the shot, ensuring the contact point is out in front, and advocating for a controlled backswing and follow-through.
Dinking is covered with tips on setting the right contact point. Use footwork to create space and maintain a light grip pressure for control.
Lastly, the video addresses volleys, focusing on a balanced ready position, short and compact strokes, and using the shoulder for control rather than the wrist.

Key Points:
Serve Routine: Develop a consistent routine for a more effective serve.
Return Shot: Prepare early, move forward, and follow through fully.
Third Shot Drop: Allow space, ensure front contact, and control your swing.
Dinking: Set the right contact point, use footwork, and maintain light grip pressure.
Volleys: Maintain a balanced stance, use short strokes, and control with the shoulder.
