#1037: Preventing Bangers from Slamming You
#1037: Tracie is joined by IPTPA Master Pro Lisa Palcic to explain how to stop feeding bangers the perfect ball. From serving deep to aiming at the body and feet, Lisa shares simple ways to neutralize hard hitters before they turn the game into target practice.
In this episode you’ll hear:
Why deep serves and returns can prevent the banging before it begins
Why hitting directly into a banger’s strike zone is basically an engraved invitation to clobber the ball
The surprisingly important reason you should be looking down, not at your opponent’s face
Why rushing to the kitchen can actually put you in a worse position
Lisa’s wonderfully simple rule: serve and stay
Why you and your partner should move together instead of winding up “one up, one back”
The safest place to put the ball when you don’t know what else to do: between their feet
