Playing doubles
Strategy
Eleanor Nilsson Asked 6 years ago
We only play doubles at our club. Any tips for coordinating with a partner?

Hi Eleanor,
The main thing is movement. Work at hitting and then moving out of the way of your partner so that they can move in and have a good position at the table. The movement can be in a circular movement or you can move sideways to give your partner some space.
The other thing to think about is the placement of your shots. Think about your partner when you are placing your shot. If you play down the line that will often give your partner a better chance of getting to the next ball.
For our Premium members we have the tutorial on Doubles Strategy.

Tactics Against A Defensive Chopper
A chopper likes to get back from the table and get into a nice rhythm. If you keep the defender close to the table in the early part of the rally, it's hard for them to transition back into their chopping position. So keep the ball short on your serve and try and catch them unprepared. Watch the video to find out more great tactics to use against a defensive chopper.
