I am a senior player.
Any chance of a video showing doubles play as seniors we only play doubles. Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
Thanking you,
Kind regards,
Maureen

Hi Maureen,
We have a tutorial on Doubles Strategy.
The main things we talk about are seeing short and close to the middle line of the table, returning aggressively when you can, play down the line often during the rally to help your partner with their next shot.
We also talk about Doubles play for seniors in our latest podcast. Show #335 - 20 Years Since Sydney 2000.
