#2 The Middle Solves The Riddle

 

Playing doubles, we all have experienced choking on relatively easy shots. Especially when the other team dominates the net and you are trying desperately for that great passing shot, or perfect lob. In other words: they force you the make the error! Even though they have the offensive edge, let them make the mistakes.

Place your shots, preferably low, right down the middle. It reduces their scoring angles tremendously and sometimes it even creates confusion. Above all, it forces them to volley upwards, allowing you and your partner to take control. The middle solves the riddle!
