Line Explanation: Understand the importance of the court lines, the farthest lines, sidelines, and lastly the kitchen line with their impact in the game. Net Height Essentials: Necessary information on the net's height, whether at the centre or side, lets you know what you're getting into. Top Tip: Jim's number one tip is "'Down the middle is King!" Watch as Jim explains why this shot makes great sense more often than you might think and how it can pressure your opponents - often forcing them on the back foot.
