Learn a reliable overhead shot to keep net position.
What Your Guru Thinks
This lesson from the coach is really useful if you're working on your overheads. They introduce a simple, reliable shot they call the "potato overhead" which is perfect for maintaining your position at the net. It's less about winning the point with power and more about consistency and strategic positioning. This approach can really help you build a solid foundation for your net game before you tackle riskier shots. Understanding how this shot helps you and your partner keep the net is a key takeaway.
