Finishing position in doubles
Strategy
Ivandri Lowell Asked 14 years ago
Hi coaches, there something I want to ask about doubles, when I see double matches, I see that most players ignore the finishing position. Example: topspin finishing position is much wider. Is this because doubles is in turn hitting or for more spin? And also can you give me some tips about how to be in synch with my partner in doubles? Thanks

Hi Ivandri,
You can afford a little more recovery time when you are playing doubles but you should still have good technique with your strokes.
Movement is the key to being in synch with your partner. Work together with your moving.
