Hi,

I'm not too keen on playing doubles, I don't really enjoy it much except playing for fun with friends when it can be a really good laugh. But I would play it more often if I thought some aspect of it would help my singles performance. So my question is - Does playing doubles help you play singles?

Many Thanks

Hi Roger,

I don't think there is a lot of benefit in doubles for your singles game.  You are better off practicing more singles if you have to make a decision between the two.

Your Opponent's Weak Spot

When playing a game, you need to think about where you place the ball. Every player is different and you should have an understanding about where their weak spots are. You should think about this for when you are attacking, blocking, serving and receiving. The weak spot may vary between these different parts of their game.
