Play short to the fence from the net when the ball is "on your outside" (green area) and you are balanced; avoid playing short to the fence when the ball is "on your inside" (orange area) or when you are off balance and stretched wide, opting for the middle/feet or down the line instead.
This is a really helpful breakdown of deciding where to play the ball when you are up at the net. The coach explains when it's smart to go for that aggressive shot towards the fence versus playing safer. Understanding these situations can really improve your decision-making under pressure and help you be more offensive when the opportunity is right. It gives you a simple structure to follow for better shot selection.
