The advice in this video is excellent. In fact, when you position yourself closer to the service line, either as the server’s partner or the server and do not over commit to the net coming in, you put a lot more pressure on the lobber, who now has a much smaller target and who thinks he must hit it deeper to keep from setting you up with an overhead. This leads to errors and different shot selections., which you are also in position to cover and answer aggressively.
