Lesson – Strategy

You can play “not to lose” and hope your opponent makes a mistake, or you can “play to win.”

Utilizing Josh’s 5X’s with some simple patterns, you’ll be able to upgrade your strategy from “hitting and hoping” to “hitting with a purpose.”

When you have these patterns, you don’t have to smash the ball or hit sidelines to win the point. Have a plan to open up the court and win with ease.
