    Tip of the Day - Backhand Serve Deception

    Larry Hodges Dec. 07, 2013

    The key to deception on the backhand serve is the elbow. 





  • Jakub Dyjas

    Tip of the Day - Get the Back Foot Around when Stepping Around

    Larry Hodges Dec. 06, 2013

    When stepping around the backhand corner to play a forehand (usually a loop or smash), many players don’t get their back foot around enough.





  • Natalia Partyka

    Tip of the Day - General Rules of Ball Placement When Attacking

    Larry Hodges Dec. 05, 2013

    Key places to land the ball to win your next match!




  • Theresa Kraft

    Tip of the Day - Should You Stick With Your Best Shot If It Is Missing?

    Larry Hodges Dec. 04, 2013

    The situation: Your best shot is missing, and you are losing because of this. Should you keep using it, or abandon it?





  • Erica Wu

    Tip of the Day - Returning Serves Short

    Larry Hodges Dec. 03, 2013

    At the highest levels, the most common return of a short serve is a short push, even against a sidespin serve. At the lower levels, most players just push them deep, giving opponents the chance to loop.





  • Ricky Seemiller

    Tip of the Day - Playing Against Seemiller Style Players

    Larry Hodges Dec. 02, 2013

    No two players play alike, and this applies to those with the Seemiller grip as well.




  • Koen Hageraats

    Tip of the Day - Tournament Experience vs. Practice

    Larry Hodges Dec. 01, 2013

    Many players practice for many months, not playing in any tournaments until they feel they are completely ready. They then enter a tournament … and flop.




  • Hunor Szocs

    Tip of the Day - Power Player Control Shots

    Larry Hodges Nov. 30, 2013

    There’s nothing an experienced and tactical player likes better than facing a player with big shots but little else. On the other hand, there’s little more scary than an opponent with big shots and ball control to set the big shots up and withstand opponent’s attacks.



  • Xu Xin

    Tip of the Day - In a Lopsided Match, What Should the Higher-Rated Player Do?

    Larry Hodges Nov. 29, 2013

    Many players have difficulty generating great speed on their regular smashes (i.e. off a relatively low ball, not a lob, which uses a different stroke).



  • Kenta Matsudaira

    Tip of the Day - Increase Forearm Snap to Increase Smashing Speed

    Larry Hodges Nov. 28, 2013

    Many players have difficulty generating great speed on their regular smashes (i.e. off a relatively low ball, not a lob, which uses a different stroke).
