Hi everyone,

 

Well, I need some advices about double games positions.

1. My partner is taller than I (more than 1m90 against 1m70) and he’s serving, where should I stay? Normally in doubles, I will stand behind him but I’m quite disturb by his height. It’s hard for me to intercept the return of serve ’cause sometimes I don’t see anything as his height causes me some troubles.

My answer: look here is my advice, you need to stay more to the week side-you backhand and not on the center line. step to the backhand side or if your movement on court is not the best card in you sleeve then half step to the backhand side. then you will see the shuttle better+you will be able to attack from overhead shot then turn to backhand. you can stand on your tiptoes and you will be able to see bit better and get high shuttle and attack them.

 

2. When my partner is at the back of the court hitting the shuttle (smashing, dropping, clearing), where should I stay in order to optimize our game ?

 

My answer: Look its really depends on how high the lift was… if its very high you should stand 1.5 steps from the T (2 lines combine the T first the half line and the first line witch is the serve line).

if its med-court “bad lift” you should stand on the T

if its high lift to net or bit after you you have to go for the shuttle of agree with your partner who going to take the shuttles like that.

 

Hope it is cleat enough for you to understand. Thanks in advance.
