Tip of the day

Today’s video details a recent coaching session a player received on enhancing their counter skills to dominate at the kitchen line.

The focus was on transforming defensive shots into offensive opportunities by improving reaction time and paddle positioning.

Emphasis was placed on maintaining a ready stance with the paddle up and in front, allowing for quicker responses to opponents' attacks.

The player was encouraged to anticipate opponents' shots and practice controlled, compact swings to counteract fast-paced shots effectively.

Key Points:

  • Maintain a ready stance with the paddle positioned up and in front.

  • Anticipate opponents' shots to improve reaction time.

  • Use controlled, compact swings for effective counterattacks.
