Tip of the day

Becoming difficult to attack is essential if you want to climb the ranks and avoid constant speed-ups.

Many players make the mistake of keeping their paddle too close to their body when defending drives.

By extending your ready position further out in front, you can track the ball better and bat it down.

On the return of serve, use your first step to launch your body weight toward the kitchen line.

If you hit a weak return, using two hands in the mid-court helps keep the ball low and deep.

When you anticipate that a dink will be attacked, take a small step back to give yourself more reaction time.

You should always try to put your chest in front of the ball to block off the most likely down-the-line shot.

Middle coverage is simplified by the X strategy, where the diagonal player is responsible for the center.

Key points

  • Extend your paddle further out in front to track and bat down hard drives.

  • Use your first step on the return to propel momentum toward the kitchen.

  • Take a step back from the kitchen when you anticipate a dead dink attack.

  • Align your chest with the ball's bounce to block likely attack angles.

  • Respect the X by covering the middle when the ball is diagonal.
