Hi, in your opinion, are strokes to corners more effective or those to extremes ?

Here is a link to a blog I read. It says that playing to the extremes is more effective.

Hi Kaustubh,

The extremes as just wider shots.  If you are looking to outplace your opponent then these are good angles to play if you have the skills to do it.  It will make your opponent move further.
