Shot Selection

Most mid-level errors come from attacking the wrong ball: speeding up a ball below net height or driving from the transition zone.

Think about this while you play

  • Ball below the net: dink or drop. Above it: attack.
  • In the transition zone, reset first; attack later.
  • Dink cross-court twice, then go middle when they lean.
