#1027: When, How and Why is Stacking a Good Idea?
#1027: Master Pro and former pro competitor Lisa Palcic explains why two right-handed players almost always stack in mixed doubles on the pro circuit (no matter how good the female player is). But when, why and how stacking might make sense for amateurs in rec play or tournaments is another story.
In this episode you’ll hear:
Why lefty-righty teams often benefit from stacking
How stacking can highlight one partner’s stronger overall game
Where each player moves after the serve
Why the stronger player may cover nearly three-quarters of the court
How opponents will try to exploit the player moving into position
Why communication about middle balls matters even more when stacking
When mobility, confusion or poor positioning make stacking a terrible idea
Why you should never unveil your brand-new stacking strategy for the first time during a tournament
