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.

Think about varying your spin, speed and placement. In this master class we explain what makes a great third ball attack and Jeff shares some of his personal favourite third ball tips.
