Not sure where to stand on the court? 🤔

Tip of the day
Footwork and proper court positioning are essential for better play.
Today’s video emphasizes the importance of the split step, a small hop that helps players react quickly.
Also, when serving, it's crucial to move forward and be ready for the third shot.
If your third shot is good (either a drop shot into the kitchen or a low drive), continue moving forward.
If it's not, be prepared to defend.
At the kitchen line, keep your feet active and use small steps to adjust.
Always stay low and balanced to react to any shot.
Key Points:
The split step helps in quick reactions.
Move forward if the third shot is good.
Stop moving and be ready to defend if the third shot isn't deep.
Use small steps at the kitchen line.
Maintain a low stance for better balance and reaction.
Gear review of the day
The Selkirk Labs Project 005 paddle is a unique paddle designed with new technology.
It's great for creating sharp angles at the net, and the ball has a nice pop when hit.
However, compared to the Selkirk Power Air, it lacks some power and spin. One player described it as the "Power Air without the power."
It's perfect for players who love control and spin but might not be for those seeking maximum power.

Price: $222.00
Paddle Shape: Elongated, square, or hybrid
Surface Material: Fiberglass with a spray grit texture
Average Weight: 7.7-8.1 ounces
