#1033: Embrace the Angle → Win the Point

 
 

#1033: Coach Greg Dedrick uses a variety of strategic angle shots in his game and recommends incorporating angles whenever possible — with the caution that "angles beget angles" so be prepared for the return of your shot.

In this episode you’ll hear:

  • Why “angles beget angles”—and how your best-looking shot can create an even better opportunity for your opponent

  • When a sharp cross-court dink helps you, and when it can set up an ATP, Ernie, or outright winner against you

  • Why mixing up your patterns, including the surprisingly effective right-foot dink, can be smarter than always going for the flashy angle

  • How return placement affects not just your shot, but your partner’s ability to poach and cover the court

  • Why the best angle isn’t always the point-ending shot, it may simply be the shot that sets up the winner
