HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014!

"It's a new year. It's time to start again and stop thinking about what you're going to do and start doing it. It's time to live your life and be who you are.

Fran Davis: Take Your Best Shot

Taking the right shot at the right time means making your opponent run the farthest distance to get to the ball.

Question: "I’ve been watching videos and shadow rehearsing in a tiny office the back crossover vs the front crossover for covering shots. The videos go so fast, even in slow mo, that often I can’t tell if it's a back or front crossover. In old school, with slow balls, there was only front crossover. I’m guessing that now it’s more back crossover and hitting shots off both wings in an open stance… Will u educate me?" - Bo Keeley   (more…)

You can implement the strategy of controlling your opponent's court position, whichever level you play. Here’s how: (more…)
