How to beat bangers!

Tip of the day

Today’s video is on defeating hard-hitting players, also known as "bangers."

The instructor, Matt, emphasizes the importance of keeping volleys low and deep to counter the aggressive play of bangers.

The video details how to maintain a proper ready position, with a wide base and bent knees, to react quickly to fast shots.

Techniques for hitting firm, low volleys without popping the ball up are demonstrated, highlighting the need for a firmer wrist and compact motion.

Matt also discusses the concept of counterattacking when bangers move forward or hit the ball too high, suggesting aiming low at the opponent's feet or letting overly aggressive shots go out of bounds.

Key Points:

  • Keep volleys low and deep to neutralize the aggressive play of bangers.

  • Maintain a ready position with bent knees and paddle out in front to react quickly.

  • Use a firmer wrist and compact motion to prevent mishits and keep the ball low.

  • Counterattack by aiming at the opponent's feet or letting high drives go out.

  • Sometimes, adopt a more aggressive playstyle to take the initiative against bangers.
