Episode notes
Understand Bangers' Intentions
- Recognize what bangers want, such as short points and driving balls in their strike zone.
- Aim to extend rallies and avoid giving them easy high balls to maintain control.
Stay Stable Against Drives
- Always be stable and still as you prepare to receive a drive from bangers.
- Use a solid paddle face and split step to improve reaction and control.
Block Drives and Invite In Bangers
- Use your momentum to block or chip drives at opponents' feet rather than swinging hard.
- Aim to bring bangers forward into the kitchen to extend points and force weaker shots.
