Strike the ball early off the bounce using spin or no spin.

For heavy spin, hit the bottom of the ball with the bat pointing to the net, not to the side.

When returning heavy back spin, softly strike the bottom of the ball without imparting your own spin – your opponent will receive his or her own spin back, and the ball will kick forward.

Be aware for opportunity – the first person to attack is more likely to win the point.

Make a letter L shape with your elbow on the backswing and push your arm forwards to a letter I on the swing

Finish with your index finger pointing towards the target (like a gun)
