Tip of the day

Mastering the art of stacking is a transformative tactical shift that allows partners to play from their most effective positions on every single point.

While many intermediate players find the concept of switching sides during the serve confusing, this guide breaks down the visual cues and communication required for flawless execution.

You should focus on the footwork required for the player moving across the court to ensure they do not leave a massive gap for the returner to exploit.

The strategic advantage of keeping a dominant forehand in the middle can neutralize even the most aggressive opponents during high speed kitchen exchanges.

Properly executed stacking also protects a partner who may have limited mobility by keeping them in the area of the court they cover best.

Successful teams use stacking not just as a defensive measure but as an offensive tool to dictate the flow and pace of the match.

Learning this system requires patience and practice with a dedicated partner but the resulting court dominance is well worth the initial mental effort.

Key points

  • Strategic stacking ensures both partners are consistently playing from their strongest side of the court.

  • Clear communication before the serve prevents any confusion about where each player needs to move.

  • The player not receiving the ball must be ready to shift quickly to cover the open court space.

  • Keeping the forehand in the middle of the court is the primary goal of most stacking configurations.

  • Consistent practice with a partner builds the muscle memory needed to stack effectively during intense matches.
