The bait ball?

Tip of the day

Today’s video explains the "bait ball" strategy, a tactical approach used to draw opponents out of position, taught by pro Zane Navratil.

The core concept involves hitting a short, inviting shot, typically a dink, that looks easy to attack.

However, the goal is to lure your opponent forward, creating an opportunity to hit a more aggressive shot behind them.

The video emphasizes the importance of disguising the bait ball, making it appear like a mistake.

You'll learn about different types of bait balls and how to execute them effectively.

The video also covers the importance of being prepared to react quickly after hitting the bait ball, as your opponent may attack it.

Key Points:

  • Lure Opponents Forward: The bait ball draws opponents out of position.

  • Short, Inviting Shot: It's typically a short dink that appears easy to attack.

  • Disguise the Intent: Make the bait ball look like a mistake to increase its effectiveness.

  • React Quickly: Be prepared to react quickly after hitting the bait ball, as your opponent may attack.

  • Strategic Placement: Place the bait ball strategically to create opportunities for your next shot.
