    Tip of the Day - Whole Body Shots

    Larry Hodges Feb. 10, 2014

    Many players stroke with too much arm, with little body rotation. This greatly limits the power they can generate.

  • Tiago Apolonia

    Tip of the Day - Fast, Quick Motions Disguise a No-Spin Serve

    Larry Hodges Feb. 09, 2014

    Many players learn to put decent spin on their serves. However, when faced with disguising this spin, they have great difficulty.

  • Ryan Tseng

    Tip of the Day - Rally Down Faster & Quicker Players

    Larry Hodges Dec. 30, 2013

    When faced with a faster or quicker opponent, many players try to match them in speed, and end up losing because of too many unforced errors...

  • Raghu Nadmichettu

    Tip of the Day - Learn to Adjust to the Shot

    Larry Hodges Dec. 29, 2013

    Many players do the same shot over and over against varying incoming balls, whether they are ready for the shot or not...

  • Adam Hugh

    Tip of the Day - Hidden Serves? Who Needs Them???!!!

    Larry Hodges Dec. 28, 2013

    Forget about the virtues of now-illegal hidden serves. Think about the advantages of letting your opponent see contact when you serve!

  • Teddy Tran

    Tip of the Day - Practice with the Tournament Ball

    JOOLA USA Dec. 27, 2013

    At every tournament, there are players who complain that the tournament ball isn’t the one they practice with.

  • Sy Wasserman

    Tip of the Day - Don’t Let Up!

    Larry Hodges Dec. 26, 2013

    One of the most common upsets occurs when a player wins the first game very easily and then loses the match. There is such a thing as "second game blues," where you win the first so easily you have difficulty playing all-out in the second game.

  • David Del Vecchio

    Tip of the Day - Examine Your Opponent’s Racket, But Don’t Complain About It!

    Larry Hodges Dec. 25, 2013

    Before a match starts, you are allowed to examine your opponent’s racket. Some of your opponents will use surfaces that you might not be used to playing, such as long or short pips, or anti-spin.

  • Frank Lackie

    Tip of the Day - Coming Back or Beating Stronger Players

    Larry Hodges Dec. 24, 2013

    Suppose you are well behind in the first game. Your only way of winning that game is if you play very well, and your opponent plays poorly. Therefore, assume this is true, and play your tactics accordingly!




  • Han Ying

    Tip of the Day - A Trick to Beat a Tricky Pusher

    Larry Hodges Dec. 23, 2013

    Some players have very accurate pushes, and will push very wide to your backhand over and over – until they see you stepping around, or even hedging that way.
