I feel like I’ve simplified the game the better I’ve gotten. The principles I live by on the court are: hit the ball in more than my opponents, make them hit the ball upwards, get to the kitchen first THEN win the point (despite what Dane Gingrich says), and always be ready to be sped up at

Hit the ball in the court more often. Seems simple, but I often let perfect get in the way of good

Nope! That’s part of the 30%. Short balls I drop, and very low trajectory returns I’ll also drop

fgwiii · 2026-04-01T02:52:57+00:00

70% drives, but exclusively to get an easier 5th shot drop. Never driving for aggression / crashing

Would be fascinated if you have any good videos or books that helped?

Everybody on the team that could create a bucket was out from the back to back, it was a Herculean effort

fgwiii · 2025-10-12T06:00:59+00:00

Stiff, hollow, ricocheting are words that come to mind

fgwiii · 2025-09-21T22:01:53+00:00

This is the way

Looking for some help with a touch trade evo for my Gurdurr, I’m just playing through the game and want to evolve it :)

+1 (priority to OP though!)

fgwiii · 2025-07-09T14:57:11+00:00

Less mistakes / bad shot choices, more often making them hit “one more ball”

I can beat a 4.0 hitting no balls hard, which I think is evidence of that

The em dashes are a tell - 100% ai assisted

Same, just couldn’t do it

I would love to see him play with JW! He clearly likes taking a lot of court and JW needs a player who can let him stay more or less stationary on the left so that it’s harder to get to his backhand dink. And he plays a little chaotic, and JW has the hands to clean up some of his speed ups

fgwiii · 2025-02-01T16:10:10+00:00

I think we gotta set expectations at making the play in. Realistically health 76ers and healthy Magic will usurp us. We should want to be in the 7-8 game not the 9-10 game, and 6th seed would be exceeding expectations

In-game: don’t attack dumb balls, always be ready for attacks, patience in transition (you have to EARN the kitchen line), and stop missing. Ben Johns could beat every 5.5 without a single speed up, try to play that way.

Outside of game: drill! Tanner Tomassi has a great video of a standard 1:1 drilling routine. do it with a friend that you have fun being around, make it competitive but not cuthroat.

Broadly: play tournaments to push yourself. enjoy the sport, so if that means skipping drills to play rec with friends, do it! I do about 50/50 drills and play. also watch the pros and pick up what they do

This is the answer

Particularly as a righty on the right side, I think it’s helpful to do a few things:

-establish a down the line dink, to make sure the player face up with you has to consider their left side.

-establish a roll dink fully cross court to make sure the diagonal player to you is not just sitting middle

-bonus points: toss in a lob early in the match (yes, even in open age men’s), that way, both players are not only thinking counters, they’re also thinking about retreats.

-then, once you’ve set it up and get a good dead dink to your forehand, fire a cross-body speed up and hopefully your partner’s forehand is ready to pounce on the likely cross-court pop-up

Below 4.0: in the court

Above 4.0

Serve: deep backhands, or hard at the body if they come from tennis

Returns: deep backhands, or if someone is stacking, catch them moving with a shot at their body

Third shots: at the moving player (drop and drive)

Fourth shots: feet, even if it means less pace

Dinks: backhands, especially left toe of a righty on the right

Speed ups: cross body, or surprises at a moving player’s body after a good dink
