About this episode
This is the 8th and final episode in our 8-part series on doubles strategy. On every shot in doubles, you can choose which direction you want to hit the ball. But how do you know you're choosing the right direction? Many club-level doubles players go down the line when they should go crosscourt, never change their serve location, or don't think about the best target for approach shots. In this episode, I'll cover how to use direction to improve your doubles strategy for serving, returning, rallying, and net play. I'll share common mistakes I see, drills you can practice, and the ideal direction to hit the ball in different situations.
