Executing the Drive:

Discover the ideal ways to hit your baseline drives—whether down the line or through the middle. While not mandatory, these tactics are recommended for optimal setup. Learn why keeping the drive low and adding topspin might give you an edge, especially when executed with a forehand on a short high ball.

The approaching player's movement is crucial. Know when to move up and how to time your approach based on your partner’s shot quality.
Master the art of crossing over just before the opponent hits the ball, a move that requires precision and can be risky but rewarding.

Tips on how to counter this aggressive strategy. Focus on avoiding the incoming player and targeting the furthest or hardest areas they can reach.
Keep your volleys low and aim for the sweet spot to avoid mishits, a common challenge when facing fast drives.

Discuss the benefits of a paddle with a larger sweet spot for more reliable shots and how adding lead tape can further enhance your paddle's effectiveness.
