6 Ways To Turn A Reset Into An Attack

Most points at your park do not end with a single big drive. They build through a series of neutral shots: dinks, blocks, and soft resets from mid court. The players who keep winning those rallies are not just “more aggressive.” They are better at recognizing when a nothing-ball quietly turns into a green light.

Drill of the Week: Attack vs Reset Ladder

This drill creates a simple “win condition” for the two skills that decide most kitchen points: one player applies pressure with controlled attacks, and the other neutralizes it with a true reset that bounces in the kitchen. The moment that reset bounces, you stop the rally and switch roles. That role-switch is the whole point.

Why Your Balance Feels Worse in February (And How to Fix It Fast) 

If you’ve felt a little “off” at the kitchen line lately – late to balls you usually reach, wobbling on wide dinks, or catching yourself stepping instead of gliding – you’re not imagining it.

Contact Point Awareness: The Real Key To Consistency

Most players blame inconsistency on their wrist, their paddle, or their nerves. Very often the real issue is simpler: the ball is not in the same place relative to your body from shot to shot.

Drill of the Week: 7-in-a-Row Consistency Challenge

Most errors come from trying to do too much on one ball. This challenge trains discipline: same shot, same intention, repeated cleanly. Seven is the sweet spot—hard enough to feel like a real streak, but short enough that you can hit it in a few minutes without turning practice into a grind.

The Weird Reason You Miss Easy Shots on Indoor Courts 

A sitter to your forehand drops into the net. A simple speedup blows past your paddle. You feel slower, but your fitness and paddle have not changed.
