The first strategy is smart decision-making, where high-level players choose shots with the highest success percentage, such as consistent resetting in the transition zone.

The second strategy involves identifying opponents' weaknesses and using bait balls to initiate advantageous hand battles.

Pattern recognition is the third strategy, where players change up their shot patterns to prevent opponents from getting comfortable.

Mastery of the transition zone is crucial, with a focus on timing and footwork to neutralize points quickly. This is the 4th strategy.

The fifth strategy is adding deception to your game.

The sixth strategy covers defending overheads with proper positioning, and the seventh is ensuring the middle is covered, with the diagonal player taking responsibility.
