#1012: What Are You Cooking Up in the Kitchen?
#1012: IPTPA Master Coach Lisa Palcic explains that as you get better, your strategy at the kitchen needs to change. The NVZ is not just a place to practice your dinks, it's where you set up winning shots for yourself and your partner. Different strokes for different folks: depending on whether you're a low intermediate player, high intermediate or an advanced pickler, your thought process at the kitchen needs to evolve, too.
In this episode you’ll hear:
Why your dink is not supposed to win the point
The surprisingly effective strategy of hitting their feet (yes, really)
What “angles get angles” actually means — and why it can backfire fast
How to spot a “runway” and attack it like you planned it all along
The difference between reacting and actually having a strategy
Why your “beautiful dink rally” might just be helping your opponent
The moment you get the green light to go on offense (and what to do with it)
